Companies are not People

This is an important point, that companies (or any organization) want to confuse everyone on. They will insist they are people, and must be treated the same as them. The American Supreme Court has even passed a ruling that says this explicitly.

The Military (of any country) also insists on this. They have a special status, that makes them as good as the Civilians - if not better. And they get more than their share of the National income.

I worked for the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA). as an Electronic Engineer, from 1960 to 1980. But I ended up working for every branch of the American military, most of the time. Because the pay was so good there, and the professional demands were so minimal.

We built Radar stations to detect Soviet nuclear bombers, that never existed.  For example, the FPS-35 . This could detect missiles lifting off in Cape Kennedy, in Florida! The Soviet Union bypassed the nuclear bomber (that Americans had, on the ready) and built ICBMs instead.
