You're confusing the legislative branch with the intelligence community and other participants in the military industrial complex. Yes, Congress is full of incompetent elected officials who "can hardly pass a budget." But the MIC is comprised of highly specialized professionals with careers spanning multiple presidential administrations and dozens of congressional sessions. It is a mistake to assume these people are incompetent.

If the military industrial complex is so competent, how come it failed so hard in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Even the "true" conspiracies, like mkultra ... What did all that abuse accomplish? Not much. Unethical? Yes. Murderous? At times. Competent? No. Bumbling fools.

The term "military industrial complex" was meant as a warning about corruption, not that they'd manage to be good at it.

I think from the MIC POV the war in iraq and afghanistan was a incredible success. Why end a war in a year when you can milk the DOD for 20 years?

Ok, so if they're good at the goal of extracting money, it would appear they're not good at much else.
