Blood for Bucks: The Profits of Perpetual War - Economic Gains in Prolonged U.S. Conflict
While war is sometimes necessary, Sun Tzu said, "In war, then, let your great object be victory, not lengthy campaigns."
Why does the United States continue lengthy campaigns?
Prolonged warfare, while bearing immense human and societal costs, has economic dimensions that some argue benefit certain sectors of the United States. The military-industrial complex thrives as defense contractors profit from sustained conflict, driving technological advancements. War-related spending stimulates economic activity, creating jobs and supporting industries.
However, this economic boost is accompanied by ethical concerns and long-term fiscal challenges. The complex interplay between military engagements and economic gains raises questions about the true cost of warfare and its impact on the nation's financial well-being.
