Have you ever done the math on:

• What your profit margin is on your economic activity
• What the military industrial complex profit margin is on your economic activity 
• How much profit you need to save 1 life
• How much profit the military industrial complex needs to kill 1 more person 

 A better way of looking at the last 2 is "how many years of life can you buy per dollar vs how many can the military industrial complex"

It seems like extending lives is more expensive than shortening them, and killing is more profitable than saving these days
