The Art Of Unnecessary Warfare
By Case Wagenvoord

www.countercurrents.org/wagenvoord110110.htm

The first rule of unnecessary warfare is that when you have a goose that is laying golden eggs you keep it off the dinner menu. It is imperative that you keep it fat and healthy, no matter what the costs. The priority in such a war is not a healthy army, it’s healthy defense contractors, and if you have to hollow out your army to keep them healthy you do so
