@turboxray Words have meanings. Some have several. Such as “lecture”, which you misinterpreted here by choosing its literal meaning over the figurative one.
As for what can be deemed a “defense contractor”, I’ll stick with the OSD and the Congress’s views on this. They do include providers of “mailing/distribution” (see links below).
Your point about “arms dealer” is valid. Your point in favor of “defense contractor” is not.
@turboxray OK, “dealer” does not seem appropriate indeed. An arms manufacturer and seller, then.
(No need for the lecture about words having meaning and indirectly calling me an ignorant — especially as the sanitized term “defense contractor” you seem to favor would not convey the intended meaning. A “defense contractor” might as well only provide mail service or catering to the military, which would be, as you say, a “VERY different thing”.)
@10basetom Your whole argument can be summed up as “If you’re not perfect in just about every imaginable way, you should not try to get better.” Naïve, immoral, ignorant, and guaranteed to make the world worse for everybody.

@turboxray Well, he is selling arms, so what’s your point?
