Not really funny. Disappointed in the Bee for this. I cant speak to what goes on in a executive board room, but military contractors are no more happy about war than the military troops who have to suffer it are. We all do our job and our duty, and our job is to help the warrior succeed and come home. Sorry for the rant but this is poor taste.

True. A time and place for everything, this not the time for frivolity over an imvasion.

[Captain Peter Blood]

The military contractors want perpetual war and they have had it for the last 75 years.

[Trailerpark Badass]

War is a racket.

[Theophilus]

It's very funny because the truth hurts. Our largest defense companies are completely politicized and you know it.

LM has been bailed out more times than GM. And if President FJB, the Chief of the Teat says "sacrifice all employees who won't take the jab", these companies will do it without a hesitation or objection.

Both sides can be correct - I believe many military contractors unknowingly work for truly evil men.

Thanks for your service, but I worked for Raytheon and I can tell you, that they are popping corks in Bean Town.

Please don't tell me that every major beltway bandit isn't whooping it up because their checks will go sky high {and they don't give a fat rat's ass about any grunt {US or other wise} that gets killed in a "foreign war".

I was one of those grunts, and I know.

“j...but military contractors are no more happy about war than the military troops who have to suffer it are.”

In other words, they are sad when they lobby for those lucrative defense contracts. And politicians, when they leave office, are forced to take those lucrative lobbying jobs for the defense contractors. And Eisenhower was talking out of his head when he warned of the military/industrial complex.

Were you born on planet Earth?

Take a chill pill! IT’S THE BEE!!

[Mr. Lucky]

Well said.

[Faith Presses On]

I personally didn’t take it as funny satire, like much of the Bee’s articles are. But as questioning, maybe critical. A reminder of the “business” and “profit” side of war.
