The giant revolving money wheel.
Defense contractors lobby congress, give campaign contributions, hire their families.
Congress votes for more money for defense contractors.
Generals beat the war drums, lobby congress to buy more weapons. Defense contractors hire generals for their boards.
Generals and politicians find an excuse to launch attacks. Weapons get depleted.
Rinse, repeat.
It’s worse than the vaccine scam. And much more lucrative.
Rinse, repeat, screw us taxpayers.

Quick too!
