Is my moral compass off, or does war profiteering completely violate the whole "don't be evil" thing?

I guess that depends on whether you view either profit or war as intrinsically evil.

It's whether one views the intersection of profit and war as intrinsically evil, which for most people is a resounding yes. Humans are already good enough at killing and causing misery for each other without adding additional economic incentives into the mix.

War will always be evil, it's usually just about whether it is a necessary evil.

They removed that clause recently, I believe.
