In 1935, Major General Smedley Butler, wrote a book called War is a Racket.
General Butler wrote, “A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small “inside” group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.”
Are most wars actually fought for freedom or for the profit of a few?
