The post you are reporting:
At the bottom of all this I have been saddened by the fact that we have taken children from the early years of primary education, up through secondary, into the army and back home in a bag in the time this so-called war has been going on, and yet on it goes.
There's money to be made in war, pure and simple.
What would poor politicians have going for them with no armed conflicts to crow about? We are rightly concerned by the effects all of this has on our own children, but many children, the world over, grow to adulthood (by chance?) knowing nothing but conflict.
Twenty-first century, (thriving, stable, representative?) Democracy abounds and yet we are still fighting WWII.
What does all of this add to our borrowing? Why do we accept the necessity to spend-spend-spend to kill to "preserve our institutions', and at the same time penny-pinch in every area where our Civilisation and Humanity could/should/does shine forth as a mark of our national achievements?
Why is it that we can bomb, belittle and impoverish our fellow human beings only to throw-up our hands when they seek our shores to avoid what we do to them at 'home'?
The love of money and the overweening desire to keep it all where it is?
The only conclusion I can come up with is that the human race is farmed.
Some raised for slaughter and some for breeding and by-jingo is there ever a stink when that plan wobbles.
