The Power game. Part II, The Pentagon

Shows that despite the huge military build-up during the 1980s, the nation's military effectiveness has been limited and could force the early use of nuclear weapons. Reasons include rivalry among the military services, career moves, coverups, pork barrel funding, erroneous military test results, and whistle blower backlash. Shows how military spending decisions are often made less for national security reasons than for economic and political interests. With little hope of change in sight, the massive waste and inefficiency in the Pentagon's procurement of arms will continue.

  • "This film shows that in spite of the hugh military build-up of the last eight years rivalry among the military services has limited the nation's ability to present an effective fighting force and could force the early use of nuclear weapons. The program also shows how military spending decisions are often made less for national security reasons than for economic and political interests. With little hope of change in sight, the massive waste and inefficiency in the Pentagon's procurement of arms will be repeated over and over again."

  • "Shows how spending decisions at the Pentagon are made less for national security reasons than for economic and political interests. Viewed in the broad historical perspective, this is seen as the way the Pentagon has always operated and not as the result of a single administration."
