Hundreds of corporations,
big and small, comprise
the US war industry. Nonstop war is the most profitable racket on
Earth. What follows are the contracts issued during February 2023.
FOREIGN MILITARY SALES (FMS)
– The two main ways that the U.S. war
industry sells weaponry to foreign governments are foreign military sales (FMS) and
direct commercial sales (DCS).
In FMS, the U.S. government acts as the intermediary between the corporation
and the foreign government. DCS are negotiated privately between foreign
governments and U.S. corporations. The State Department’s Bureau of Political-Military Affairs is in
charge of issuing the export licenses for DCS. The U.S. war industry leads
the world in arms sales. It pitches such sales as advantageous to the
Pentagon in terms of economies of scale, i.e. they bring down the price per
unit.

Maryland, $4,639,525,813 for
Parts and Repair Ordering System VI: “commercial buying services … providing
supply, maintenance and task order support services” for Air Force Security

RECRUITMENT &
RETENTION – The Pentagon spends hundreds
of millions of dollars each year to convince the US public to enlist. Most

industry’s goods and services.

ACADEMIA – U.S. academia is part of
the US war industry. Faculty and staff often justify this flagrant ethical
compromise by claiming that the funding is too good to turn down and that they, the
academics, are ultimately not the ones determining when, where, or how to use
the weaponry being developed.
Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT), Cambridge, Massachusetts, $30,000,000 for
basic scientific research into molecular and atomic scale mechanisms

JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER (F-35)
– It is an understatement to call the F-35
a boondoggle. The Manhattan Project cost
about $2 billion in 1945 dollars (roughly $28.4 billion in 2019 dollars). The
F-35 burns
through that kind of money in any given season. The lead
corporation, Lockheed Martin, does
not intend to address 162 of the jet’s 883 known design flaws.
