That is a valid point one way, huge multinational corps got paid.. but so did all the soldiers and employees of those corps (that are American). And the medicare budget would also give a huge slice of cash to different massive corps...

So, the difference may not be much... But consider it's the cost of the entire war every single year, that's just insane at any level.

I think the only solution is to lower the actual costs. No where else in the world does it cost so much. Something is fishy...
