If 3000+ American soldiers killed in Iraq split Lockheed Martin’s profits…How much would they collect each
Hint:
The Lockheed Martin Corporation, the world's largest military contractor, said second-quarter profit more than doubled on increased sales of aircraft like the C-130J transport plane and because of a tax credit. Net income rose to $339 million, or 75 cents a share, from $144 million, or 33 cents a share, a year earlier. Sales increased to $6.29 billion from $5.7 billion, the company said. Sales at Lockheed's Space Systems unit, which makes and launches commercial and government satellites, fell 1 percent, to $1.78 billion. Sales at Lockheed's aeronautics business rose 46 percent, helped by an increase in deliveries of C-130J's, as well as work on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and F-22 combat aircraft programs.
Answer:
Not as much as the 50,000 killed in 'Nam or the 52,000 killed in Korea or the 100,000 killed in WWII.What's the point?Just anti-capitalist rhetoric?
I heard a similar question yesterday that asked why Americans cared more about losing a handful of troops in Iraq (compared to any other war we ever fought) than they did about securing freedom for 50 million Iraqis. The answer is the same: stop seeing the world in terms of black and white!!
