Yeah, because the Military-Industrial Complex in America is a purely competitive market, driven exclusively by the invisible hand. :-)
I find it very funny when Americans say things like that (not that France is not like described) without even pausing to realize we are a country that legalized and institutionalized lobbying.

- elzbardico 3y agoLol. Well, I am sad to say that America is not that much better than your country on this count.
- littlestymaar 3y agoIt's a surprise to no one that the US politics is a shit show, but for this particular issue I think it's much more pronounced in French politics than in the US: We have both our President and Prime minister who've been doing back-and-forth between politics and executive positions in the private sector, and a handful of ministers (Catherine Colonna, Stanislas Guerini, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra) are in the same boat.
