Making trillions off the deaths of soldiers & innocents doesn't make you a bad person does it?

[Philosoraptor]

I mean, if you make trillions of dollars in profits from a war you personally orchestrated with lies, and 4 thousand brave soldiers died in the process, and a million innocent people are blasted and tortured to death, that doesn't necessarily make you like a bad person does it?

5. no but it will get you two terms as america's president and vice president

[Juche]

6. No

At least not if you fund the war by borrowing money from China.

if you were to pay for a war by doing something radical like raising taxes then yeah.

7. why, yes

Yes, I believe that would qualify as a bad person.

9. If those who got their piece of the trillion dollar pie...

are viewed as bad people, are not the enabling multitudes bad people also?

10. Has anyone made a trillion dollars in profits from the war?

[asteroid2003QQ47]

instead of a trillion.
Whatever, it's a shitload of money!

[Swamp Rat]

11. IMPEACH!

12. Let me put it this way to you:

If you're the capitalist who makes money selling war machines and sending mercenaries out, you probably either think you're still basically a decent person, or you don't give a shit. I would say most belong in the latter category.

Hey, after your first million or ten million, you have the rest of your life to repent, right? At least, I suspect that's what they think.
