If perpetual non ending war costing billions of dollars weekly is obviously unsustainable, why do it?

Question

its obvious that spending billions of dollars weekly on warfare that is seemingly endlessly perpetual is a suicidal path for a nation to take, but why is it then that some people talk as though it can be sustained? have they lost their bearings ? are they delusional? In the art of war, Sun Tzu, centuries ago, said that only fools rush into war, and only fools send their troops far away from home and keep them fighting perpetually...so do you think some people today just dont understand these very common sensical view points?

Answer 1

Looking for those WMD's!!!!

to support the ego of our government.

Answer 3

"Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. … No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare." James Madison

Answer 4

Well, the first thing you should do is explain to us how the war is not sustainable.

Why don't you calculate the war costs as a percentage of GDP and then explain how we cannot sustain a number that low.

Answer 5

I was talking to somebody the other day and he said to do a search on the word Amero. He then went on to explain what was going on and what the word meet. After doing the search I was just blown away to think that this might really be true. Its noted that President Vice Fox has said yes to the idea of it happening. Just do a little diggin for youself and take it how you want to.

Other answer would be sheer profit at the expence of the people.  Some people could care less about life, because a marble floor means more to them. sad... but true.

Answer 6

They understand that someone in this country is making those billions and a lot of it is entering private pockets, those same private pockets are keeping our current ahem, administration in power.   Just follow the money trail and you'll have most of the answers to political questions.
