It's none of those. General Dynamics produces the humble 155mm artillery shell. It's not flashy but artillery has killed more people than any other weapon in modern warfare.

Defense of Ukraine is a great example of how weapons can be used for good. But definitely not all that these companies do, as Gaza shows.
It's sad, but countries like Russia show us very clearly why nations that want peace need to prepare for war.
I would love to not need to spend a cent on our military, or weapons manufacturing, but the hard reality is very clearly that if we aren't capable of mass producing weapons, we'll likely be invaded and killed.
That's a major part of the issue Europe is facing now: We've scaled down weapons production since the 90's, and now that we suddenly need millions of artillery shells it takes time to rebuild production capacity.
Hopefully Russia gets the picture soon, that we'll keep scaling up until every Russian invader is gone, and we can go back to not spending money on war...
"Defense" is when you aid the overthrow of a government to replace it with a fascist one that kills eastern Ukrainians like in Donbass, DPR, LPR, and Crimea
Then they wonder why Crimeans overwhelming support Russia against the post-2014 fascist coup gov in Ukraine
It's defense because the US military industrial complex is "defending" its profit margins by creating instability far enough away that it won't affect them, but that they can profit off of
Crimeans overwhelming support Russia against the post-2014 fascist coup gov in Ukraine
People in Donbass too as you'd expect. They welcomed the Russian army as liberators in 2022 from the current fascist Ukraine gov
It's a shame that people who say they support "Ukraine" usually mean the 2014 fascist coup gov instead of the Ukrainian breakaway regions resisting it.
Wow, I Wonder why everyone that's left in the regime that deports and persecutes dissenters says they are in support of that regime?
Ukraine never invaded anybody. Giving them weapons so they can throw out the people invading them, taking their land and molesting their people is a good thing. Russia has clearly shown that the only way to get rid of the plague that is Russian soldiers on foreign soil is to kill them. That's why we have this war that Russia has chosen to engage in, and which Russia can choose to withdraw from at any time. That's why Russians are dying by the hundreds of thousands.

Boeing makes jdam bombs, that would put them up there.
Boeing has since been expanding who they kill to include passengers on their commercial airplanes along with whistleblowers. Can't say they're not trying.
Fun fact: Lockheed uses Unity to make XR training apps and Unity used to (maybe still does I'm not sure) partner with them to help build said apps
Even more reason to ditch Unity!
Northrop Grumman has entered the chat.
General Electric was there too
Does McDonnell Douglas count as Boeing?
Don't forget about good ol' Texas Instruments
It's true. Their calculators were responsible for the math class massacre of '92
Never forget the 1992 mathssacre.
But also, they build the guidance systems for hellfire missiles.
Mathacre was right there... right there. Ah well.
