Re: On war....
If you have been in, or studied war you would realize it is a terrible tool representing the monopoly on violence we cede to the state.
Using the definition of war as being a continuation of politics by other means, war is in all circumstance the result of political failure.
Could it be this political failure can be explained by the fact that not one member of the House of Rep., or the Senate has a child presently at risk by being in the military?
How easy is it to brave when you are not at risk? Why should you be concerned about health insurance when you have a no-deductible 100% pay policy?
