Does anyone else see this as totally wrong?

How many more brothers and sisters in arms do we sacrifice to make these jerks richer?

Are you really surprised at these developments? Ever think that might be one of the reasons the political right wing keeps pushing so hard to continue this war?

... and if we researched extensively enough, we could probably determine who made the big bucks outfitting Caesar's legions. War has always been profitable for those that supplied the tools.
