I think the people who are in the position to spend tax money for weapons feel as well that they are providing a service. They probably think they are helping by protecting citizens. From how they see the world they do us a good thing. I am pretty sure that your president (he is not mine as i live in nz) feels he is doing what is best for all americans.
I think the clue how things then take such an ugly shape is what was mentioned earlier, the discrepancy between what is said in a board room meeting and what then is actually put into action through a chain of acting persons.

In that movie that was mentioned, "the corporation", the CEO of some oil company meets up with people who are demonstrating against his company. And they find that their values are actually quite similar. But even the CEO doesnt feel not powerful enough to change the direction the corporation takes. And if not him, who can? Maybe it is us, by not working for them as Steve suggests? What to do?
