BETHESDA, MD—Sources within Lockheed Martin confirmed today that loud cheering was heard coming from the defense contractor's executive board room.
The cheers coincided with the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, as multiple voices within the U.S. condemned the attack and suggested that America intervene in the dispute.
"YEEEEEAH!!!!" came a cry echoing through the building. The sounds of high-fives, pounding on the conference table, and a loud, thumping chest bump were also heard. At one point, a chant erupted of, "WAR! WAR! WAR!" Some employees claim they heard the sound of a champagne bottle being opened, while others say confetti poppers went off throughout the morning.
One source said they heard a repetitive metal tapping sound, which was later confirmed to be the sound of sabers rattling, while another said she heard a loud, rhythmic booming, which was later confirmed to be war drums.
At publishing time, sources had confirmed that Lockheed Martin was throwing a free pizza party for all employees at their main offices.
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.
It’s going to be over before they can sell a single missile.
Not true. They were quiet high 5s and thumbs up throughout the building. And the Pentagon. And Langley.
damn the BEE...
True. A time and place for everything, this not the time for frivolity over an imvasion.

This is true.
The Money Spigot gets turned on high and Joey and Lindsey and Marco get their Glamour shots with Planes and Military men.
100%
DOD money goes missing regularly
The Bee does what the Bee does — and well.
The military contractors want perpetual war and they have had it for the last 75 years.

More military industrial complex propaganda. I meant what I said in my post. As a vet and a patriot, I would appreciate you not including me in your prop statement.
War is a racket.
The Bee got me! I don’t know how I miss their byline. I start reading the summary, and only after I’ve swallowed the bait, do I check.
Those who say it isn’t funny are correct - in a sad way.
Warriors and those contractors that support them are why you have the freedoms you have to say stupid stuff.
LOL, zing!
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.
Look, I too come from a family of vets, WWII and Korean War, and I’m all for arming our side as much as possible with the best available.
But why, then, would a five star general who happened to become president of the United States publicly warn about said military industry complex?
Were you a five star general?
Do you know better than him?
Serious question.
globalists want war
globalists want chaos
Let me know when you win 2 MOH's. Till then, I'm going with Smedley.
