This massive transfer of taxpayer wealth to private contractors is profiteering disguised as national security. The military-industrial complex has created an "arsenal of profiteering" that prioritizes corporate profits over genuine defense needs, wasting billions on dysfunctional weapons systems while neglecting diplomacy and humanitarian aid.
