What is "huge profits"? Is there some level of profits for these companies that you would accept as not being "huge"? Particularly after accounting for the fact that companies which provide services to the military naturally find their services to be in much greater demand during wartime than in peacetime? Also, do you have a problem with defense companies making sub-standard profits during peacetime? Do you believe that defense companies should receive profits during wartime that would compensate them in the long run for the risks they beared while their services were not in much demand during peacetime?
