The incessant destruction and reconstruction has to end
Theory: Since the end of WWII this country has had some leaders that have dared to limit the size of the military and the flowing rivers of profit to the coffers of war profiteers. One of the most striking examples is Richard Nixon's attempt at detente with the Soviets. Like Kennedy before him Richard Nixon was flanked, in his case by a political assasination, ie. Watergate. For Jimmy Carter it was the crisis in Tehran that draped a dark cloud over his managing the Camp David sessions with Begin and Sadat, which was set up in fact by Kissenger and Nixon. Enter Ronald Reagan, a true actor and a great front man. Play the cold war out to the public with strong rhetoric of the evil empire, and fuel a war in Afganistan, then when it's discovered that the Soviets can no longer maintain the race, claim it as a victory, of course that's not what the MIC wanted to happen, but it made for good PR once spinned correctly.
So ferment and kindle the remnants of the Cold war, to form a new war, one that will be just as prolonged as the the Cold war. More weapon systems, larger deployments, reconstruction contracts, and oil rights, a cabalist's dream come true. Install a figure head puppet, such as GW Bush, pump the rhetoric and the faith based zeal to an all time high and maintain a global military presence that maintains profits for a system that evolved in the early 50's. Does this system make money, of course, but for whom and for how long? This type of paradigm can only persist for only so long before total destruction is assurred.
Profiteering and corruption is the only way left for indviduals to make money, this cycle needs to end, the appetites need to be wetted by a new frontier, not war, and not corporate malfiesance. It is easier for the powers at be to stir patriotic fervor designed to cloud the citizenry's world view and lead them to believing that it is for their safety that war is waged.
