War is where the money is. The government of this country has decided that you make money by going to war and you don't make money by not going to war. It's also decided that having money is mandatory. So if you want to succeed you'll go to war.
you may not even appreciate how accurate this is because it seems so simple but it’s exactly true

It's less convenient to indulge that opinion without the protection of the most powerful military in the world.
Come back to me after you serve in combat. The dod doesn’t protect anything but investors’ returns.
I’ll have two time Medal of Honor winner explain it to you:
Are Iranians feeling protected? No, are Americans protected from Iran? Also no. Are gas companies protected from low prices? Hell yeah they are!
