America may be being dragged down by record debt and unemployment filtering throughout the economy - but there's one industry that's bucking the trend. It's a boom time for arms manufacturers right now, and they're branding themselves as saviours of the job market. RT's Kaelyn Forde reports on how Americans have little choice but to go gunning for work. RT on Facebook: www.facebook.com RT on Twitter: twitter.com

you know what.... the? way corporations are crippling the world, from monsanto, to oil companies, to the military industrial complex, to powerfull lobby buying off politicians... I predict that one day, revolutionaries will turn from assasinating presidents, to assainating CEO's and owners of companies.... Corporations are starting to have a bigger imprint on the planets than most national governments....
@nomad27 And I am not going to? count the EU as 1 country.
@nomad27 I have no idea what you're talking about. I live in the U.S., and I am a trillion % sure that the U.S. is one country. These idiots are pissing away more than a trillion bucks a year. The U.S. alone? accounts for HALF the worlds Defense spending. The rich half. We're spending 6 X more than China.
@HemiHead66 the statement: "In an article I read the other day, it said that our Navy is bigger than the Navies of the next top 14 richest countries - combined.? " is misleading due to the simple fact that you count the U.S as one "country" and compare it to others like Switzerland, Germany, France etc..
If you count the US as one, you should count the EU as one also. So dont go comparing US's defence budget to that of norway, notherlands, denemark, belgium etc..
The war machine is trying to monopolize the world thats why their business is? prospering.
Travis Haley for president, ladies? and gentlemen.
@nintendo007 true. becouse them medias are in control of sick fu*k Gov'ts that includes BBC.?
War's a racket! The defense contractors love it! Problem is it's not the solution to the world's problems because there is nothing gained in wars. These people rationalize their presence in other countries. A total fraud since these are all covert operations designed to just loot the other nation's natural resources. The solution is in the Larouche Plan. No war just economic development of the entire planet in one unique system. The? enemies of Larouche are war promoters. Larouche is the man.
American? Psycho(s)
yeah it is funny what these fools believe. We are there to help.... Everybody thinks the US are tyrants but we are there to help. Yeah help Dick Cheney and Rubin and the rest of these thugs who have become billionaires during the past decade due to the wars they forced upon the world. These leaders lie to their people who are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, many believing they? are there to help. And the dumbed down Americans believe all they hear on FOX news
Taxes pays for the Industrial Manufacturing Base ... Karma from the murder of these weapons will bring bad things to America.
Basically we are? condoning murder on a mass basis to create jobs?
America is over!
@2serveand2protect correction: I meant >>? CHINA "DEFENDS" ITSELF IN TIBET <<, of course...
@Testostrone250 ....you ain't seen nothing yet......!!!!!!!.Are you in tomorrow or watching the game?I'll entertain you and you'll have a? front row seat !!!!!!!!!Goody.Goody!!!!!!Lol.
Arms? makers sell more guns during wartime , shocking news to Russia.
"I'm a pacifist but a? realist too.... sometimes war is necessary" classic Orwellian double think..... Gee some people are just plain deluded.
so who does the US support in Egypt, Libya, and Syria? the dictators or the people? because i thought the US supports dictators all the time and then the? government says we support the removal of the dictators! i'm so damn confused, someone help
I aslo can suggest net-news-global.de? as news source. many news is in english.
Dick Cheney loves him some? Halliburton! Could 9/11 be an inside job?
War on terror my ass its? all for profit.
to the woman (1:48):
I'm not judgmental, but I'm a realist too, I mean eyebrow plucking is necessary, not because you're ugly from the inside, means you should be ugly from? the outside too.
