War's necessary! US defense contractors 'raking in the dough'

America may be being dragged down by record debt and unemployment filtering throughout the economy - but there's one industry that's bucking the trend. It's a boom time for arms manufacturers right now, and they're branding themselves as saviours of the job market. RT's Kaelyn Forde reports on how Americans have little choice but to go gunning for work.

Just like all the other defense contractor employees, this woman (1:48) is, I think, indirectly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people. Who are these people that make "war necessary"? Actually, I still want to know why we went to war in Iraq and Afghanistan. "Just because we want to be peaceful doesn't mean the other people want to be peaceful" - that's called doublethink. But look at her, look at her eyes. She's dead inside. She's the predator AND the drone.

@freedomwv True, but no one has to invade USA.

It will just implode by its own under the weight of 60years of lies, deceit and murderous imperialism - aka a western version of the sovjet collapse.

I Wonder if that ugly whore would still say war is necessary if american people were being slaughtered instead of innocent Muslims,The u.s attacks one oil rich Country after another,Bombs Homes,Hospitals,Schools,e.t.c,­Rape the Women,Use chemicle weapons that cause babies to be born severly deformed & murder millions of innocent civilians & then they have the audacity to claim they want peace, Iran has NOT Attacked another Country in hundreds of years & the u.s says Iran is a threat to peace.

The war machine system only benefit those contractors on the expenses of the tax payers. It does not produce things but destroy. It means that once bombs exploded, it's gone. This kind of system is not sustainable! Obama tries hard to delay the collapse of the system so he can get reelected.

@2:50 Keep digging into the Military Industrial Complex (it is well covered in Eugene Jarecki's documentary "Why We Fight" (see some of it here on YouTube)).

The Capitalist system is profitable for a few war profiteer's at the expense of the American taxpayer but "we cannot afford" healthcare for all because "our taxes would be too high".

Wrap defense spending in the flag but the working poor taxpayer? They're on their own.

Yes American, it is called a war machine. Yeah, war gets the money moving. But a war machine cannot last forever. One day, someone will fuck you up. And they will fuck you up all nice and proper like. After they fuck you up, they will have a show trail and sentence countless numbers of you to death by hanging. Think that could not happen? That is exactly what America did to Nazi Germany. USA fucked up the Nazi war machine had a show trail and then killed many of those murderous greedy bastards.

Thank you RT for getting the truth out, our media news is a joke. I seriously thought when Bush left the EXTREME embarassments would be over. @01:51 and @02:00 I now have to pick my jaw up off the floor because they are so fuking stupid, its not funny, SERIOUSLY STOP LAUGHING, its not funny, people are dying because of a bunch of lying assholes. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield ALL of them should be tried for war crimes.

@nomad27 And I am not going to count the EU as 1 country.
