fuck wars
considering i'd be probably 90 or 100 by then (or more likely dead already) i wouldnt recommend that.  |
But this is what makes a country great. You think our military is just hell bent on war without understanding what our military does.
You can argue that Iraq was a complete waste. But then imagine Iraq taking over Kuwait, and when no one stopped them took over Saudi Arabia and eventually came to control 80% of the oil in the Middle East. Suddenly gas in the US goes up four fold and people can't afford to drive to work, and even if they could they couldn't afford the food prices because the gas prices affected that too.
Don't think that can't happen? I guess you don't remember waiting in lines for gas on odd and even days in the 1970s.
This also applies in the business world too. When upper management decides to go in one direction, that's the direction the company is going in. Everyone on down the chain follows orders, no matter if they agree with the policy or not. The people at the very bottom who do the grunt work and make the product don't decide what they make, they follow orders and the make the product as ordered. Because we are not fucking communists, you can leave the company and go elsewhere or even start your own.
