A war profiteer is an individual or organization that earns excessive or unethical profit from warfare, typically by selling weapons, supplies, or services at inflated prices during conflict.
Definition
A '''war profiteer''' gains unreasonable [[financial]] benefit from armed conflict, often through [[inflation|inflated]] pricing, [[fraud]]ulent contracting, substandard goods, or exploitative practices. The term carries strong negative moral connotations and is associated with taking advantage of wartime urgency and reduced oversight.
Major [[pentagon]] contractors such as [[Lockheed Martin]], [[Boeing]], BAE Systems, and [[General Dynamics]] have been cited as modern examples due to large profits and extensive [[lobbying]].
