Wars of aggression are waged to enrich those who profit from the manufacture of arms, the rape of resources, and the domination of those who are weaker than the architects of those wars.

Warriors are pawns, brainwashed to believe that they are carrying out some brave and glorious deed for the good of their fellow countrymen. They are dispensable grist for the machinery of warfare, nothing more ...nothing less.

There is no such thing as a just war. In history, there is occasionally a justifiable defense against those who threaten. But, it is rarely, if ever, the weaker nation that attacks or invades. It is always the warrior nation convinced of its might that fires first.

We are, as a species, still socially so primitive that we still settle disputes no differently than did our ancestors from their cave dwellings.

We never learn.
