I have been doing defense work for almost 30 years and in my experience that is the opposite of true.
- irishcoffee 6mo agoThe way this forum views the DoD and contracting makes me chuckle on a weekly basis.
- goosejuice 6mo agoI would imagine that heightened fear/threat results in increased budgets. Is that not the case?
- austin-cheney 6mo agoBudgets are driven by congress from input by industry, senior military leaders, and current operations. Perceived risk is a completely unrelated political reality for uninformed voters.

I can certainly see why defense contractors would prefer stability i.e. a cold war over a real war. But in a less dangerous world there's less need for defense contractors. e.g. '93 last supper > Perceived risk is a completely unrelated political reality for uninformed voters. Doesn't seem relevant to this thread unless we interpreted dangerous differently.
