OT OT OT PB, Re: One thing for sure, the purpose of fighting a war is to win it. To me, that is a naive interpretation that is used as propaganda by the elites to spur on the cannon fodder. The real, ultimate purpose of war is almost invariably the same. I.e., it is conquest and plunder. Power and wealth are the goals of any military operation. Cinncinatus was an outlier in the main scheme of things. Actually, he serves as a convenient mythology to delude the public. I'm fond of the understanding achieved by Lt. Gen. Smedley Butler in the 1930s in the U.S. He came to view his illustrious career of three decades of service in the Marines to be little more than that of a thug for hire by the banksters and corrupt CEOs of his day. Is all business crime? Probably not, but war is a business that is certainly a crime, especially as practiced by the totally cynical Bushies in America today.
