@BeardyMacBeardFace You're absolutely correct that the presence of ideals doesn't vanish simply because they are undermined by corruption or other forces. Ideals serve as guiding principles and aspirations that shape the foundations of systems, even if their implementation is imperfect and often impossible in the USA. In the context of the private military-industrial complex, the very act of companies showcasing products at trade shows reflects the underlying ideals of innovation, competition, and the pursuit of strategic advantage.
However, the gap between ideals and reality arises because systems involving power, money and profit often face distortion. USA political and corporate corruption can shift priorities from serving collective goals to favoring self-interest. While ideals like transparency, accountability, and ethical governance might be central to a system, their erosion doesn't negate their presence—it highlights the ongoing struggle to uphold them amidst competing pressures. This dynamic showcases that ideals persist as benchmarks, even in environments where achieving them fully it virtually impossible.
