Of course it's good business. World War II was one big factor of pulling US's ass out of the Great Depression. However, the short term benefit of such war-time economy goes to the big corporations. The average working Joe getes very little of that money spent by the government, other than his monthly wage. In Long-term, the benefit is blurred because many other factors that contributes to the economy other than the enormous Defense spending 5-6 years ago.

It took from Late 1930's (beginning of rearmament of US military + Lend-Lease to Allies) to Early 1950's (Baby Boom, Rise of Suburbs) to show major economic upturn. I would seriously doubt we'll see the benefit of the defense money (which is OURS.. paid by the good ole Tax Paying sheeps) in near future. However, I do see the point that Boeing and other defense contractors needing more workers and thus helping to lower unemployment.

My graduate degree is in operations management. Present the figures and I'll do the math.

Then when you depart the service and need a fresh career, you will be welcome to join a Defense Contractor
and maybe you can obtain a position in the Industrial Engineering Department aand have all the math you need to do.

Thanks for the link. I hate math which is why I got the OM degreee instead of the IE one. Many of the courses were shared by both programs however.
