ALL of our modern wars have been expanded and encouraged by the companies making war weapons. Without exception. And they are some of the most active lobbyists and contributors to campaign coffers. Add in the employment and huge salaries for ex military and generals, and you have corruption down to the bone.

This is the number one crisis facing government and world safety today. And like you said, simple decency.
