Marines And Styx
For Marines or any other of our Armed Forces who have to get down in the trenches and fight the battles, war is hell. But wars can be profitable in spite of being horrendously expensive to run. At $20 million per missle somebody is making money! That's what wars are really all about, politics and money. Whether or not there are still marines out there that believe in the "Grand Illusion" package they bought into when they enlisted, to defend the United States of America "against the threat of terrorism" is up in the air. Or do they only think about survival, putting in their time and getting back to the world so they can bury their heads in the sand like the rest of us.
In my time of service in the Marine Corps (1968-72) the "Grand Illusion" then was known as the Domino Theory. If Viet Nam fell to the commies, the rest of Asia, Europe and the Middle East would follow. Everybody hated the commies thanks to Joe McCarthy so it was easy to convince the people to agree to war against them. Get em all riled up about defending this or that little Asian country against the threat of the ravenous Bear – good ole mother russia. What a crock! It was all about oil, even back then.
