Why America Fights

I watched a documentary film “Why We Fight”. It was about the United States and the military-industrial complex.

A few authorities, such as politicians, munitions industry, and think tanks, have tried to control the country, in turn the world – and they did. No one can stop their despotism. A good example of this is the drama “24” Season 7: it depicts an attempt by the private military company Starkwood.

Many government officials become an executive in private military companies. The companies spread a lot of money to politicians. The politicians claim the cut of military budget is the loss of employment. Just as blackmail.

Think tanks create/produce new theories and new enemies. They tempt politicians into starting a war. As a result, they can get lots of money.

Dictators are easy to recognize. But the set of unconscious harm, which they think goodwill, is awkward.

How many people are you going to kill? You have murdered millions of lives for uncountable years. You have judged defeated nations guilty. So are you.
