You're generally correct, but you're conflating different parties. Contractors in war time are very different than the companies that build war tech. Haliburton

You're generally correct, but you're conflating different parties. Contractors in war time are very different than the companies that build war tech. Haliburton makes money by managing thousands of people in Iraq. Boeing makes money in building a new plane. The latter is easy to get money for in peace time.
- kingkongrevenge 18y agoThe major defense contractors all serve in the field. Boeing has loads of people in Iraq. There's no conflation. All the big defense tech players have seen big increases in profitability since the war.
