During the Civil War and WWI, you could start a fight with somebody by calling them a "war profiteer." It seemed more than indecent to make a profit from war; it seemed evil. Wicked. Sinful.
WWII? Not so much.
And after WWII? Why, making a profit from war became the American Way. And need I point out that the only goddamned things we make anymore are weapons?
The GOP and their christian posturing should take a long hard look at how Christ-like it is to make money from things that kill people.
Oh, here's an article that doesn't go far enough.
