President Dwight D. Eisenhower coined this term in his farewell address to refer to "a conjunction of an immense military establishment and large arms industry".
Here's how it works: our taxes support a massive military budget which is doled out to large defense contractors. These corporations use this money to buy politicians and impel the United States to enter unending wars in order to assure that their contracts never end and grow increasingly bloated.
Dick Cheney was Defense Secretary, CEO of Halliburton, and then Vice President of the United States, and is a key member of the military industrial complex. It kinda explains why Halliburton is profiteering off all these wars.

That one super musty kid that’s always in your class. They’re usually behind on the latest trend, going off about funnymemes from years ago, or making gun noises with their mouths. Every chance they get they will tell you about their favorite plane, or tank. They can’t go a conversation without bringing up WW2. You can spot them wearing camouflage, or that one Minecraft creeper jacket.
Guy: oh hi (insert military kids name)
Military kid:The Sherman tank was the most commonly used American tank in World War II. More than 50,000 Shermans were produced between 1942 and 1945. The model proved itself somewhat effective against German Mk II and Mk IV Panzers, but it was thoroughly outclassed by the Tiger, Panther, and King Tiger tanks.
A way of saying there is little to no luxury, like most military vehicles have.
It's no where near as luxurious as a Mercedes, but it will get you from point A to point B, and it is better than walking. Mostly relates to vehicles.
Person 1:"The seats on your car are uncomfortable, and don't have any padding. The AC and the Heater do not work. It Rides very rough and it is very confined and dark in here."
Person 2:"hey that's military luxury for you."
