There's more here too. Amazon isn't "American" even though it's CEO is American and has many American employees. Multinational corporations owe no loyalty to anyone other than their shareholders, I mean, Amazon the corporation paid nothing in federal taxes last year. What happens when their bottom line contradicts keeping this country safe?

This underlines how so much of the work and contracts at the DoD don't really revolve around defending the US than being another way to hand out tax payer dollars to already well off corporations.

As if government officials do what’s best for the country and not what will allow them to get campaign contributions or make friends companies so they can leave the government and go into the private sector.
