Is the difference between the armourments and cosmetic industries that cosmetics do not add to the machismo of any nation state, whereas the armourments industry does count as a strong export as flagged up by governments as 'economic growth'? I am sure that, apart from the effects of cowboy cosmetic surgeons, fewer people die from the cosmetics industry than guns and armourments, though many aninimals have suffered from both industries....
I would like to suggest the word 'amourments industry' instead of 'cosmetics industry', while appreciating that the latter is also an 'armourment industry'.

Well said, Baerz. I particularly enjoyed and appreciated the pun in your spelling "armourments."
