This is such a stupid headline. It gives no context for that number. Is that big or small compared to other years? Is it big compared to other countries's military contractors? What does 'made' mean? Is this revenue or profit?
It's obviously intended to make us outraged because it's a big number, but the article actually said it went down by 3% last year. Why wasn't that the headline?
This whole article feels very click-baity to me.
