profits are many times higher in war than in peace time, when business run the world the world is at war. What costs $5000 in peace costs $75000 in war or even $500,000 so war is big money, that is the sad but honest truth, known since Ike.
Controlled, universal disarmament is the imperative of our time. The demand for it by the hundreds of millions whose chief concern is the long future of themselves and their children will, I hope, become so universal and so insistent that no man, no government anywhere, can withstand it.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within.
Douglas MacArthur
Our country is now geared to an arms economy bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and an incessant propaganda of fear.

Because as someone has already answered ,
there is no money in peace.
But also because of trade and commodities.
What one Country has , another one wants-
if they can't trade it -they will take it.
And because of Religion -there are too many
and they can't even get along with each other.
To make peace - we have to treat all human
beings the same -no racism , no class distinction .
Until the "upper class" can be kind to the "lower
class" -which is all only money related anyway-
because to make peace we all have to stand together -for humanity -not for any other reason.

Was WWII pointless? Do you believe the world would have been a better place if the nations of the world just turned a blind eye to what Hitler was doing? Do you say this crazy stuff to your parents? Someone needs to straighten your brain out. Wow!

Because war is fun. Grow up. Quit being a peace loving hippy. War toughens our nation. We've grown into a nation of marshmellows. We should reinstate the draft.

We did make peace. Then we cut the military by 50% and called it a budget surplus.
As soon as we did, they flew two planes into some buildings in NY, one into the pentagon and another almost into the White House.
So much for peace.

Why? Because peace is not profitable for some people.

Tell that to the violent criminals in our prisions.
Wars are fought with criminals that have countries to back them.
They don't want peace, they want to OWN. . . .
. . . .Own you, your country, your children, your very lives.
They won't stop, they must be stopped.
If you won't fight, they'll just take what they want.
