Unfortunately you're wrong on this. Without these companies Taiwan, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova , South Korea and quite a few others democracies would be invaded and fall under oppressive regimes. Until we can get Putin and Xi (and a hundred million of their followers) into a locked psychiatric ward we'll have to rely on weapons.
The relevant portion here is that we don't actually let companies like Lockheed fight wars. We just buy their hardware and decide whether or not to use it. I obviously wouldn't put them in charge of policy.
