its amazing how many industries make money off of supplies for US foreign warS. its not just raytheon and mcdonald douglas. its ecolab (soap) its georgia pacific toilet paper, sysco foods, rubbermaid newell, proctor and gamble, clorox, textile mfgs, sysco systems. the military industrial complex is so interwoven into our daily lives that most will never comprehend it…
