War . . . war . . . war.
So many wars.
So little time.
Who remembers the great song released in 1970 called War by Edwin Star:
War, huh, yeah.
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing.
Uh-huh. War, huh, yeah …
Absolutely nothing?
While the lyrics were great and an inspiration to the anti-war movement, which was railing against the Vietnam War at the time, unfortunately war is good for something.
Profits!
The U.S. is the biggest exporter of weapons in the world.
One great thing about all of this killing hardware, much of which will ultimately be turned around and used against us by terrorists or former-friends now-enemies: We can proudly point to the label on each and every weapon, one which isn’t seen very often these days on much of anything else . . .
MADE IN AMERICA!
My heart swells with such patriotic pride on this Memorial Day weekend to know that we’re applying so much American ingenuity and hard work to keeping our corporate defense contractors and their CEOs rolling in the dough.
Gosh . . . I’m getting all teary-eyed!
