…What is supposed to be our defense and our “peace-keepers” are our war-makers so that politicians and their friends’ companies can make millions in corporate contracts making more war. It’s bloody when babies’ arms are blown off and grown men cry for their mama’s as they die alone in a desert, but that’s how the old white guys make a buck nowadays.
