The United States has remained in a state of 'permanent war' for the past 25 years, leading to soaring defense expenditures. Dan Grazier, a senior fellow at the Washington-based Stimson Center, told Al Jazeera that many American companies and national security officials have become accustomed to high defense budgets, making it difficult to reverse the trend.
Grazier explained that maintaining elevated defense spending often depends on engaging in new conflicts. He cited the ongoing Iran war, noting that the missiles and bombs currently being used will need to be replaced, creating lucrative opportunities for major weapons producers such as Lockheed Martin and RTX. This cycle of sustained military spending has become a significant source of income for the U.S. arms industry.
According to the report, the entrenched pattern of high defense budgets continues to benefit American defense contractors, reinforcing the economic incentives tied to prolonged military engagements.
