Skeptical Observer Questions Who Profits as House Armed Services Committee NDAA Quietly Pushes $886 Billion Pentagon Budget With Little Debate

Critics point to backroom deals that pad profits for Lockheed Martin and Raytheon while skirting oversight. As the committee boasts about protecting troops, the real question lingers: is this about national security, or is it a carefully choreographed giveaway to the military-industrial complex?
