[quote=scaredycat]wars should pay for themselves. isn’t that the way it used to be? You invaded to expand the empire and make money. it’s ridiculous to lose money on a war. At the very least, we should get 3 slaves for every soldier.[/quote]
Silly scaredycat, those days are gone. Today, the war booty is the citizen’s tax money. The profits are for a small, select few hiding behind the international corporate forcefield untouchable by the state. The citizens are given feelings. Hopefully those feelings are good ones or you might feel ripped off. Once one nation is bankrupt, it’s on to the next one.
