War is the biggest and most profitable business in the world. We are in the Middle East right now to protect our way of life. Which revolves around oil.
This should not detract from the fact that every veteran, past and current should be honored for their service. Thank you.

The US never had a large peacetime army until after WWII when it was never disbanded as it normally would have been. Instead the military industrial complex sold the people on fear of the boogeyman and used that fear to assure its continued existence and profitability.
After the Soviet Union broke up they needed to sell us a new boogeyman, radical Islam and the biggest fraud of all time, Al Qaeda.
