In Eisenhower's farewell address he refers to the looming destruction that the "military-industrial complex" held over democracy in America.

Eisenhower recognized all three (1. Military 2. Industry and 3. Congress) as threats to democracy to the point of "endager(ing) our liberties and democratic processes"
