Look up the overhead, G&A and fee rates you guys charged for 3 missles. They were "hand made" developmental birds, for both our system and Patriot, and thus quite expensive.
But you go look up profit margins for say Lockheed Martin, verses something like General Mills, or Conagra.

The fact is that the military and the MiC are shrinking, more than is safe in today's world.
