Ethical? Most Ex Generals Work in Private Defense, Report Says. (VIDEO)

"A report released Monday by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington and the Brave New Foundation found that 70 percent of retired three-and-four star generals took jobs with defense contractors or consultants, a figure that has actually declined in recent years.

The report found that 76 out of 108 top generals took such jobs from 2009 to 2011, and a few continued to advise the Department of Defense while on the payroll of contractors. The report cited Gen. James Cartwright, who was elected to a paid position on Raytheon's board of directors while serving on the Defense Policy Board. Adm. Gary Roughead also served on the board while joining the board of Northrop Grumman, earning $115,000 per year.

Eighty percent of generals retiring from 2004 to 2008 took such jobs, according to a 2010 Boston Globe investigation."*

The majority of former generals become private defense contractors after retirement, and leave their jobs knowing this to be their plan. Is this ethical? Are the right motivations being considered by these generals? Is this act strengthening our military-industrial complex? Ana Kasparian and John Iadarola (Host, TYT University) break it down.
