How is war profitable

902 views

I was wondering this when I debated war with my brother who said, that at least war and tax money going to the us army is not wasted, since war is profitable.
But how is war profitable? The Iraq war cost 5 trillion dollars, which is more money than exists in the entire world. And the US military has an annual budget of 500 Billion, which is about switzerlands GPD.
So how can you possibly recuperate that much money? Because that is more money than oil could possibly be worth.
So how does the US military make its money back?

lots of money to be made after, rebuilding infrastructure, loan the country money to buy in your services charge loads of interest on loans.
Maybe help to put in a new leader thats sympathetic to further investments or loans as they should be called. Gives you 10/20 years of income as the countrys economy picks up, you get new opportunity to bring in more business to help build the country further and all with the aim of profit.
