It's not like America is taking on France, or Germany, or Russia, or China, with boots on the ground and the potential for millions to die. These "wars" are exactly what the military industrial complex love best and what Americans will accept because it never affects them directly: endless low level conflicts in far off places that produces billions in profits while maintaining America's scary big dog presence around the world.

This has been going on since the 1950's and President Eisenhower warned us against this but hey, whatever right? Party on!!
