Stimson was the Sec. of War. His boss was Truman. he's a lifelong imperialist and warmonger. No military experience.

He:

"then attended Yale College, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He joined Skull and Bones, a secret society that afforded many contacts for the rest of his life. [8]"

he was pro war as long as it was lining the pockets of Wall St.

He was an early spook tied to wall st. and in it for the money.

" 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. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. 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. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes."
