Same as it ever was:

“WAR is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. … Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many.”

- Smedley Butler (1935)
