Via PressTV : Of the 100 companies on the list, 44 are based in the US, including Boeing, Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin. The American companies account for more than 60 percent of arms sales revenue of the 100 manufacturers. Seven of SIPRI's top 10 are American, one is British, one is Italian and one is a multinational EU conglomerate. The US federal government has contract deals with all seven American companies.

  1. Protect the soldiers I hardly believe that one. In the Iraq war parents were purchasing armor for their army children and many complained that the vehicles they were in were not safe. The weapons are for profit; they hardly care where they go or who they kill. Its the money not LIFE why we even sell weapons to our so called enemies. That is a known fact.
