These companies profit directly from war. Not from winning wars. From having wars.

The rot has a board of directors.
They are not mysterious. They are not hidden.
They are on the websites of the think tanks and the boards of the defense contractors and the partner lists of the NGOs and in the PAC filings flowing to both political parties.
Raytheon. Lockheed Martin. Boeing Defense. Northrop Grumman. General Dynamics.
These companies profit directly from war.
Not from winning wars. From having wars.
The distinction matters enormously.
A war that ends is a contract that concludes.
A permanent security environment, an endless war on terror, a long-term confrontation with Russia, a generational competition with China, a forever conflict in the Middle East, is a permanent revenue stream.
The incentive is not victory.
The incentive is continuation.
And these companies employ former generals, former intelligence directors, former secretaries of state as board members and consultants.
Those former officials appear on television as "independent analysts."
They are identified as former National Security Advisor, former Deputy Secretary of Defense, former Director of Central Intelligence.
They are not identified as current board members of companies with nine-figure contracts that depend on the policies they are analyzing.
That omission is not an accident.
The infection is not in spite of this.
The infection is this.
