  4. sorry but the us thirst for war from korea and onward have basically put in peoples midns that it's all bankers wars, wars for profit, and basically has little or if anything to do with our national security. major general smedley butler already said that war was a racket and this was in his time... he served in he fought in the Philippine–American War, the Boxer Rebellion, the Mexican Revolution, and World War I. so he got street creds to say something like that. it 's true too.
