HUMAN first, then a proud IRANIAN: Edina bullet maker can't meet Army demand

HUMAN first, then a proud IRANIAN

This blog represents the way I see some of the most significant events impacting the world and its citizens. This blog also represents how I react to the events as a member of humanity with a voice, a determined voice that insists to be heard. The voice of an Iranian who loves his country but his priority is humanity; humanity without border. I will say what I want to say, when I want to say it, and how I want to say it, but I will never lie. I will also listen; I promise.

Edina bullet maker can't meet Army demand

"Here's a new measure of the intensity of the fighting by the U.S. military:
Alliant Techsystems Inc., the Edina-based munitions maker that is the U.S. Army's sole supplier of bullets, said Thursday it can't keep up with demand from the Army, which is rising to its highest level since the Vietnam War."

"...Alliant said it expects to earn between $3.85 and $3.95 a share in fiscal 2005..."

Well, Of course! The more bullets used to kill, the more profit for the share holders of Alliant Techsystems and other similar "death industries". This is what comes out of war; more money and profit for some, death and destruction for others.
