<<The chromium was for critical parts in ICBMs. The men were not "lost" -- they were wasted. Cannon fodder in LBJ's mad "war.">>

Vietnam war. Minerals didn't matter. LBJ was pushing the "Great Society". War creates demand, demand creates jobs and profits, jobs and profits create.... more tax revenue to fund the "Great Society".

Cannon fodder to fill LBJ's dreams.
