    Wars? One every 5-10 years. Too many to remember.

    People really do need to get a better idea of how common and ongoing war still is, and why it exists. We don’t have so much war in the world because people want or need to fight, we have so much war because there is an entire industry dependent on it, such that they manufacture and contrive reasons for war to be fought. There was a heavily decorated US WW1 veteran who flipped and started campaigning against this 100 years ago, and the industry has been churning on for far longer than that.
