Absolutely not!m - Sidesteps the entire point - making a huge profit on deaths of Americans in combat is easily avoided

What's a "Huge" profit, and how do you define it, MSI? I make a item for 30k, and sell it to the Government for 60K. Is that a huge profit? That 100%, after all. But over what period of time, and what is my overhead?

How about if I only make 2%? Or 5%? or is 10% right? On what amount, and over what period of time?

How do you define an "Obscene" profit? What if I make it selling the Government something for non war purposes? Can I make more then if no Soldiers are killed?

There is a lot of heat about this type of thing, but no light.
