@rbreich I mean, what's the point of war if you can't get a few inside trades in? Or some nice sinecure? Or maybe a few PAC donations later on as a thank you?

America's actual soldiers, the ones who enlist for dentistry or health care or an education, also get a nice little deal out of it too. It's the whole point of being a mercenary.

These wars are only a problem if you believe in social services.
