Recommend General Smedley D. Butler's book "War is a Racket".  He was twice awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.  It should be required reading for every American high school student, which of course our state-run schools will NEVER do.  So in the meantime, here's a list of the ten arms/supply manufacturers who profited most from worldwide mass-murder in 2011:

Boeing (USA)--total sales: $68.7 billion

European Aeronautics and Space Co (Netherlands)--$68.3 billion

United Technologies (USA)--$58.2 billion

Lockheed-Martin (USA)--$46.5 billion

General Dynamics (USA)--$32.7 billion

BAE Systems (UK)--$30.7 billion

Northrop Grumman (USA)--$26.4 billion

Raytheon (USA)--$24.9 billion

Finnmeccanica (Italy)--$24.1 billion

L-3 Communications (LLL Electronics, USA)--$15.2 billion

That's.just.ONE.YEAR, folks.
