I used to say that no president of either major political party could ever be so cynical as to start a war for the purpose of political expediency.
I stopped thinking that way somewhere along the way. I know it was after the end of Vietnam (even then I could not allow myself to think that the US gov't could be that cynical)
Nevermind "when" I changed my mind about that...maybe Desert Storm? -
Now - today - I feel as though my eyes - my mind has been opened to the realization that US Gov't is no less corrupt and no less morally corrupt than that of Russia, Ukraine, the EU...and so on.
Honestly I do not know if I am more "open minded" or if I am merely as cynical and untrustiing of the human race as it seems to be deserving of being regarded as unworthy of trust.
Is it any coincidence that as the Economies of the West are failing before our very eyes - the NATO allies all seem pretty keen on starting WWIII?
In the face of exposure to the Gov'ts political corruption and the inevitible failure of the global economy they are looking at the "exit door" with the sign above the header that says (WAR!)

Wars have always been profitable during the 20th century ergo the Neocons. War at this point would accomplish three things at least, a major distraction for all our leaders' mismanagement of their respective economies, an increased speed of depopulation, and profit profit profit for the industries of war. Ask the Bushes on that last one.
Silly me, as a very young adult during the Vietnam War I was quite aware both of the horrid mismanagement of our troops, the cheapness of "non-college" servicemen from lower levels of society, the political goal of "stopping communism" and controlling puppet ruled government in that region, and the profitability of such a war. I marched in the protests while at college primarily praying for our troops' safety and ending a futile badly run war managed by post WWII generals who had no idea how to wage this undeclared war. I was unquestionably pissed off at governments then. Some things have never changed for me.
@toronto_Georgia I'm pretty sure you were more well informed and had a more mature view of the world than I did at that young age. I admit I was very naïve in some ways - although I was hard working and self sufficient I literally had no role models - no mentor giving me any perspective at all. I had to try to figure things out for myself.I did not know what to think of Vietnam at the time. It was only years after that un-declared war ended that I decided it had been just as you described.
@iThink You were appropriately naive for the times and should stand tall for the environment you grew up in.
No, I had the advantage of having attended 15 schools by the time I graduated high school. Always being the outsider and for survival's sake having to analyze culture and oddities of each new location I became far more observant of the nuances of happenings around me. It was a rough way to grow up, often very lonely, but that was one of its few advantages. And no, I wasn't a military brat. My dad was corporate and so no built in community at each new location. You observed or you flamed out horribly. My siblings also had this skill.
I also had gotten to know several army fellows who opened my eyes on issues about military leadership at the time. Insider trading so to speak.
