of course it is.

My post was pointing out the absurdity of war, but I think I came across the wrong way :(

@uvulectomy ...makes sense, is your reference a copy of the terms of military "procurement and production"...I do know this as a fact, good friends of mine own a high tech machine shop, they've been involved in big international cap x projects, and they are licensed by Kanastan, Grt Britain and US governments to design,manufacture and produce military components, just a point of interest, back in the GWB desert wars, 2002 - 2007, General Dynamics was awarded a total production contract (basically a consultant/broker) for the upgraded Abrams tank as well as retrofit of existing tanks as well as APCs, my friends scooped contracts for undercarriage torsional components and facial armor for the tank and apc and there was also a turret component that adds to the protection of the gunner (that was fucking heavy) and buddy told me that as far as they were concerned they could do without the other measly customers and do business exclusively with General Dynamics, they also did some shit for Raytheon in the form of "tower structures", anyways, 8years ago
I had them CNC 1000 rnds of .50cal @800grns boattail with gas check, using the tungsten composit material each rnd cost $2.83 on the floor, on a million projectile order my friends quoted $1.00 above floor cost for each bullet, they were informed 2 days after submission of quotation they were "way to high", anyways,.50 cal rnds back then were just 7 under $3.00.
Just so you know.
