Major General Smedley Butler,USMC (1881-1940), was one of the very few servicemen to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor,TWICE. He had a long and distinguished military career and retired in 1931. He fought in campaigns over much of the world, and by the time his career ended, had figured out exactly why he had been fighting.
The two links below reference speaches he delivered in 1933 in which he explained that every war, every military action,every intervention, was undertaken strictly for the profit of a few wealthy men. Please read these very carefully and you can easily conclude that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Nothing has changed since his time except the size of the profits to be won.
