I probably sound naive but I had no idea they have a pattern of testing experimental weapons on Palestinians before selling them to other countries.

I knew they were selling to Myanmar during the genocide, etc but I didn't realise quite how cynical and corporate the tie in was.

And don't forget who funds the R&D and why - "war is the most profitable business on earth".

And while the biggest arms dealer in the world is your boss - the President of the United States, who ships more merchandise in a day than I do in a year - sometimes it's embarrassing to have his fingerprints on the guns. Sometimes he needs a freelancer like me to supply forces he can't be seen supplying. So. You call me evil, but unfortunately for you, I'm a necessary evil.
