Economics ELI5: I’m american and grew up hearing things like “war is a trillion dollar business” or other grandiose phrases suggesting that our government seeks out conflict for profit. What exactly makes war profitable?

Update UPDATE am I overreacting for refusing to eat at a restaurant that messed up my order once?
What i thought would be a pretty lighthearted am i overreacting question turned into quite a family saga and a trip to the er real damn fast so i wanted to update my ‘silly’ restaurant boycott story.
But before the saga heres a happy update: One of my friends knew i had a throwaway Reddit account and saw this post on it and called the health department herself and reported the restaurant, then left a long and seething review, and even went back and talked to the manager about our exact waitress. She was there and had already shit talked the restaurant with me, but knowing all this made her go nuclear. God I love her.
So the drama, I wrote this post the morning after the original dinner happened. The dinner was decent but I was very quiet and then reading all the supportive comments calling out my family’s behavior was really making me think. So when my sister called me later in the day to ask why I was so weird at dinner I had already been thinking about it and I kinda snapped, I said that I was quiet because I was so hurt by the things others said and nobody defended me, per usual, meanwhile my friend went out and fought for me even when she didn’t have to. So she and I fought about what was said, if I was being too sensitive, and even about if my allergy was as serious as I claim. I told her I didn’t need this and hung up.
My mom texted me later, so did my brother, and again my sister. All saying that we should drop it and we’re family and this is silly. I put them all in a group chat and said yes, it is silly to fight with me over my own medical diagnosis and the food that I eat that has nothing to do with them. I didn’t need my family to treat me like this when I have friends and other family that don’t and they can talk when they’re done being the immature ones.
I put my phone on do not disturb and finished my work day. Yes, this was all during a work day!! My night was relaxing, my husband cooked a delicious gluten free meal while I explained all this (he was out of town when it happened) and he was the perfect hype man and started highlighting more toxic behavior from my immediate family I have been blind to.
And then like a sitcom with ironic timing, there’s a knock on the door. My mom and sister came over to ‘make amends’ and brought dessert from a gluten free bakery. There are multiple around us, I didn’t question it. I’m sure you’re yelling at me to question it…I should have. We sat down to talk and I grabbed a cupcake, one bite in I knew by the texture it was not gluten free. I spit it out and just looked at them, waiting for them to admit it. My sister had a look of slight fear while my mom sat there looking smug. All she said was ‘gluten won’t kill you honey, you grabbed that cupcake pretty fast, that’s a bigger concern’. I was holding back tears from the feeling of betrayal and ran to my husband who was giving us space, he already had the keys and gave me my shoes to put on and we left to go to the er. He stopped at the door to say ‘you are never welcome in this house again’ and he took me to the er. I could feel my throat tightening as I was sobbing in the passenger seat.
I was seen right away at the hospital and I’m fine now, and writing this while waiting to be discharged as a way to process what the hell just happened. I feel like I opened my eyes and lost my entire family in under 24 hours. But the two hot takes family sure knew what was up, and my husband and my friends are plenty for me to feel loved and taken care of.
