Whoop... There It Is !!! - 'US Defense Contractors Caught Celebrating...'

37. This is a bit of a distortion

I'm dubious anything in what was said could really be classified as "celebrating". These people were definitely commenting upon the beneficial impacts that these conflicts would have on their particular business units. They were talking to creditors, they want to be able to borrow money at favorable rates. Oshkosh just won a large contract, which predates these conflicts. They are going to need a large amount of finacing to execute the contract and will want favorable costs.

Of course these companies are also populated heavily with republicans so they of course look favorably upon using the military to further American interests in this region. That's not a profit driven motive, that's a sick view of how best to achieve American interests.
