    What do you count as military companies? Just things like Raytheon and Blackwater? Or do you include companies like Amazon and Kraft? If you’re excluding companies like Google and MS from the MIC, you’re greatly underestimating it…

      Fair question. Yes I was considering arms suppliers specifically. I’m not sure we can simply include every company that works with the military in any way though, it makes more sense to consider companies that get the majority of their profits from the military-affiliated work.

      I would not count Kraft as part of the MIC for instance.
