It's not as easy to convince Americans to throw their bodies into the meatgrinder to slaughter brown people for the sake of Raytheon and the almight petrodollar as it was to convince their grandparents to fight the Nazis. People are aware that war is a racket and the American military industrial complex aids and abets terror, suffering and genocide around the world, and it isn't worth having that blood on your hands and risking your life and mental health just to help with school loans.

So now we drone strike weddings for the sake of Raytheon and the almighty petrodollar and everyone is happy. Except the students who still have to pay their loans. And the brown people. But I guess you can't please everyone.
