War is costly. The Pentagon is emptying its coffers by showering more than $1 billion (€867 million) a day on Iran in bombings according to estimates from “Forbes,” while gas prices at the pump are soaring. But in the meantime, some clever people are lining their pockets. War can also be profitable.
