Memoirs of a Defense Contractor

"In ancient times when people lived in caves and thatched huts, men looked to other men to fashion weapons they could use to hunt and to defend themselves and their families against hostile enemies. These stone club and flint arrow makers were the first defense contractors."
-T. H. Henning, From Memoirs of a Defense Contractor, Chapter Fourteen, Epilogue
