But some very rich people who own a whole lot of stock in companies that make weapons and vehicles for the U.S. military will profit immensely off of all that death and destruction. And at worst, some American soldiers and some faceless foreigners die. Amassing more money than you can spend in a thousand lifetimes is more important than human lives.

"I recall that Bertrand Russell once said: " In the center of every village in England you will find a statue of a man on horseback commemorated for his special skill in homicide. When it comes to means of mass destruction millions (billions) are available but only a pittance for medical research." Nothing has changed since he first made that statement, indeed, if anything, it has gotten worse.

The Bronze Age sword and chariot were game changing weapons. Not so much, just because they were so effective, though they were, but also because for the first time there existed weapons which were so expensive, only the rich could afford them. And new words like, aristocracy, and class entered the words languages, to signify that there would never be a simple egalitarian society again, ( Except for priest and king of course.) Because killing was now a rich mans sport and the poor died more.
