War is a way to transfer vast amounts of public money into private pockets.

Fuck 'em all. Sometimes there is no "right side of history". There is international law.

War is a racket.

USMC Gen Smedley Butler suggested that everyone involved in war, from contractors, to politicians, military officers should have their monthly income capped at that paid to soldiers in the trenches. "War Is A Racket," 1935.

yup, capitalism has produced a festival of corruption.

love Smedley Butler's outing of the military as an enforcer for business.

War is a Racket

S. Butler, Marine Maj. Gen.

As Brigadier General Smedley D. Butler wrote almost a century ago, "War is a racket." It's for enriching the excessively wealthy.

War is a Racket, 37 pages by the most highly decorated Marine of his time. The movie Amsterdam uses him in a split screen, when he talks about industrial heads asking him to lead a coup. He demanded hearings after they called him crazy. Vilified.

I don't want to get into conspiracies and Pearl Harbour etc but USA has made power and money through war and imperialism, not to mention debt and propaganda. British Empire model evolution? Worth a read, what's changed since 1937?
