Beneficiaries of War

The only people who have benefited from the Afghan and the Iraq wars are wealthy investors who have sold goods and services to the USA military at inflated prices with no-bid contracts. Other wealthy investors benefited from the oil and lithium spoils of war. Yet, oddly, for the first time in US history, the wealthy have been able buy the Republican politicians so the rich did not have to pay even a penny extra to fund the war. It was funded on the backs of the middle class and by borrowing.
