I honestly think the american defense contractor industry poses a national security risk. In time of war,the country needs efficiency as much as capability and how much cash you burn through(even if you just print more money) can also decide who wins the war.

The military-industrial-intelligence axis and their cadre of lobbyists are forever heightening tensions around the world and greatly exaggerating domestic threats in efforts to sell more units and invent new ways to kill people and grab more of those taxpayer dollars.
