100 million people died, at least, in WWII
it also created our middle class, real veterans benefits and a manufacturing platform that launched the united states to super power.
but lol, the joke is on you. The MIC didnt really exist in WWII. You're just so "anti war" that you cant ever admit that our military is sometimes the only answer.
Or would you have us still paying taxes to King George with no representation? Or we should have let the south secede?
btw, you are not "anti war". You havent lived it seen it smelled it. Doesnt still wake you up at night. Doesnt affect your family and how you interact with people every day. You just like how it sounds more intellectual, and the social benefits you garner from it. Especially here on DU.
I lived it. Smelled it. Can still taste is sometimes. Launching our war machine like they did in Iraq needs to absolutely be the last resort. Always. See, you can spout numbers and philosophy, I can recount personal experiences. When I choose to speak to people about my war, they actually listen and become informed.
