Fidelis Cloer is a self-confessed war profiteer who found The Perfect War when
the US invaded Iraq.
It wasn't about selling a dozen cars, or even a hundred, it was a thousand-car war
where security would become the ultimate product.
It is a troubling film about a man who makes it his business to make money
as a war profiteer and is proud of it.
German war profiteer Fidelis Cloer clearly enjoys his work selling armored cars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is a
microcosm of the capitalist system. He exists to make money and war is simply an
extension of business to him. He wants to make the best product and sell it and
thus protect his clients. He doesn't seem to care that his products are used as
part of a war machine. He seems to have no political conscience or concern. He
went to Iraq at the beginning of the war in 2003, because he believed things
would get worse and there would be an opportunity to profit.
