Read people read!
This is a great book explaining why America and other nations go to war. War is for corporations to make a profit and for nothing else. Young people DO NOT Join the military because you are essentially working for the top 1% of the world.
Some Things Never Change
This book was written over 80 years ago, but it’s lessons still ring true today. Quick , short read only hitting high points but he’s right that the biggest benefactors of war pay no price for the cost of the hellish mess, while those that don’t profit(soldiers) pay the highest price—-doesn’t sound like capitalism to me and I’m all about the free market.
Great Message But Lacks Citations
Love the message of this book and don’t doubt that there are those who profit from war but this book lacks citations to backup any of the claims.
