War is the business

[Simon Feltser]

Each war has its ideological basis. Of course, this is correct. And at the same time, every war has other motives that are hidden from prying eyes. Undoubtedly. Let me explain what I mean. The world public first learned about the biggest "sawing" of military funding in the U.S. in 2003, when $ 6.6 billion to restore Iraq after the war, were stolen. Stealing money in the Pentagon on creating new defense projects.
Officially, the Pentagon - is the U.S. Department of Defense, the financing of which costs the country an average of 500 to 700 billion dollars a year, depending on the accounting records or military expenditure, ie Pentagon budget is all the cost of the U.S. defense industry. Problem is in the fact, that the documents on the expenditure of this budget are confidential in the interests of national security...

$6.6 billion is chump change for the Pentagon. They have $8.5 trillion they can't account for.

And here's another example. The US has invested a lot of money in the development of Strike Fighter F-35. However, it is no secret that this program, which has become the most expensive in American history, is a real disaster. The Pentagon has increased the cost of the F-35 for another 289 million dollars - and that's just the latest increase in costs of a long series. According to the Pentagon, this plane will take a monstrous share of the Pentagon's weapons procurement program, is 38% of the total. The price increased by another 4%, reaching 395.7 billion dollars, the creation of the project is far behind schedule. The colossal cost and  failure of timing, indicating a direct theft of funding by the Pentagon bureaucracy

Military procurement has often become the definitive example of pork-barrel spending. It has nothing to do with winning a conceivable war, and it is more likely to commit America to military disasters than to ensure success. This pork-barrel spending is likely to fail to achieve any military objectives.

We need remember that the US had practically no war machine in 1940, but successfully improvised its way to having the most fearsome war machine that the world ever knew.  As Hermann Goering said of America, "they make good refrigerators and razor blades, but what can they do for military equipment?"

Goering would eventually end up in American military custody on trial for his life as a war criminal and would be convicted and sentenced to death for war crimes.

It helped that they had Truman busting wartime profiteering.
