hollygolively's JournalPeople are saying "Why haven't we learned from our past?"
There are a number of people on this site and others wondering why we can't learn from our past.
To which, I would say, "We have." The Military Industrial Complex learned the lessons of the past quite well. They learned that politicians are more than willing to sacrifice our troops and our treasury in return for campaign contributions. Endless wars mean endless profits for the MIC, and endless campaign funds for politicians.
Smedly Butler wrote the book War is a Racket. He was right. It's less than 80 pages:

The Matt Gaetz-Marjorie Taylor Greene Fundraising Tour Is Actually A Cash Fire
This made my whole Friday.
Since Gaetz and Greene kicked off their joint fundraising committee with a May 7 event at The Villages in central Florida, their campaigns and joint fundraising committee have posted a combined loss of $342,000. And according to recent filings with the Federal Election Commission, that joint fundraising effort, “Put America First,” reported only $59,345.54 in contributions.
