Whatcha gotta remember is that spending on military hardware mostly stays right here at home——to, oh, say, Lockheed, General, Dynamics, Boeing, Northrup, Raytheon, and all their friends. Makes it a lot simpler to get the kickbacks to the right DNC types. One percent back to congress critters is more money than they’ve ever seen doncha know? Cost of doing bidness and all that. I remember Rickover holding up sub makers for trinkets to political wives: a ring here, a watch there, but man was he a piker?
