A report on how the greed of a privileged few, subsidized by public funding, creates substantial profits for themselves from mass human suffering.This was a speech given by General Butler during a nationwide tour in the early 1930's, but it applies even more today! Listen as he frankly discusses, from his experience as a career military officer, how business interests commercially benefit from warfare. He then suggests several practical solutions for reducing the pillage.

Who pays the biggest price in war? According to the author: The ones fighting the war. And who make the biggest profit in war? According to the author: the one sending the soldiers to the war. The only way to stop this madness is to let those decide who are going to war if they want to go to war, and not some people in Congress, Parlament or politicians who will profit from the war. If this would be the case, no wars would ever be fought.
