What Is It About Testosterone That Gets Us Into War?'

No........

Or are you saying that the military should be dying for the
Unions

What do you think our volunteers are fighting for right now Tilt?

Yes, Tilt, there are businesses that profit more from war than from peace, but that doesn't mean that some wars are not necessary any more than it means that every war is necessary. Springfield Armory made a lot of money off the Civil War in this nation, but that in no way says that the war wasn't a necessary war to fight.

Wasn't Springfield Armory a goverment organization back then? I know they were during WWII. Colt made a lot of money off the Civil War.

War profiteers? That can be a dangerous game. Ask the Russian arms companies that profited from WWI, until Russia had to sue for peace and the companies were seized by the Bolsheviks.

Yeah, the Springfield armory was a federal armory for most of its existence - bad example I suppose, but that doesn't detract from the larger argument I was making.

SNORE

That's got to be the first time I've ever seen someone so bored by their own topic that they fell asleep........

were you really talking about something!?

Indeed I was, the fact that some companies make more money in times of war than they do in times of peace is not, in and of itself, any indication that wars are never necessary.

Which wars were necessary since 1900 besides WW1, WW2 and
1st Gulf War. If you say its for oil, your wrong. The
number of capped oil wells(w/oil)can provide oil for 300 years,per
Standard oil data released in late 70's. Oil companies found that
brokering oil for Middle east and others just as profitable for them.
Necessay war you say, how to you obtain that hands on knowledge.

Necessary war is a determination that is made Tilt. I may view a war as necessary to protect the security and freedom of this nation that you ascribe to other reasons and thus unnecessary in your world view.

Iraq was necessary, but not for oil. If you think Iraq was about oil then you don't know why it is that we are there.
