General Discussion

They're going to nameplate firms. Moreover, there is no denying that there is a defensive missile shortage (interceptors). The problem is that
a lot of $$ is currently funneled to speculative AI crap run by 2 person firms, that will never produce anything of value
for the American public - nor aid in our defense. So the "war profiteers" aren't the ones building ships or actually manufacturing things that can intercept ballistic missiles (e.g., General Dynamics, Raytheon, etc.). I think it's useful to point out specifically what kind of graft is going on - who is getting the $$ - and not cast too wide a net. There are real bona-fide contracts that produce useful things and there are bullshit contracts that produce nothing but wealth in cronies pockets. Whatever you think of this conflict, maybe the reason that we are lacking
real items at this time is that this admin has preferentially funneled our tax dollars into the bullshit contracts.
