The vicious cycle of American foreign policy:

1) Hawks start wars in far-flung corners of globe.
2) Defense contractors get paid.
3) American soldiers die.
4) Contractors lobby for more money.
5) The defense budget grows.
6) America withdraws.
7) Repeat.

2. They missed, gin up the patriotic 'mericans'

Think about some of the Chickenhawks who have led these profitable invasions.

W who couldn't be bothered to served, but daddy got him in the reserve and he didn't serve there either.

Cheney who was TOO BUSY figuring a way to make money off these invasions

Trump captain bone spurs...The art of the deal basically paid his way out of Vietnam, cause he thought the service was for suckers.
