  Oh, I don't know, maybe something along the lines of this: The business of buying weapons that takes place in the Pentagon is a corrupt business - ethically and morally corrupt from top to bottom. The process is dominated by advocacy, with few, if any, checks and balances. Most people in power like this system of doing business and do not want it changed. -- Colonel James G. Burton And yes, it's about buying weapons, not selling them (though of course, someone has to sell them to the Pentagon when they're buying). But do you really think there's not plenty of profitable looking the other way going on with the selling, too? Was Bill Hicks too simplicistic when he talked about arming the world, then starting wars because the world's so dangerous... ? The elephant in the room, to me, is the squeamishness about random, senseless murder on a small scale, and the numbness to planned, profitable murder on a big scale.
