I guarantee you we wouldn't be so quick to be invading other countries, either.

War is a multi-multi Billion dollar business. Knocking it down and building it back up.. Those that make the decisions to go to war are very heavily invested.. They sell us the Patriotic bull<shit. Losers are the taxpayers (what else is new) and those killed in combat and their families. The last war we should have been involved in was WWII.
