A new mockumentary, "Lords of War," has been released, examining the relationship between corporate lobbyists and the Pentagon budget. The film argues that private contractors receive more than half of all tax dollars flowing to the Pentagon. The mockumentary focuses on how the CEOs of top defense contractors, such as those at Lockheed Martin, maintain lavish lifestyles funded by these contracts.
