This is a book explaining how the United States government manipulated and lied its way into a number of wars and military interventions.
We are forced to go to war or do a military intervention to save our liberty and freedom, to make the world safe for democracy, a war to end all wars, to save the world from communist or whatever, to protect American lives, to save the world from a country that might possess weapons of mass destruction, etc.
Most of us have heard or read the following words many times.
This is an update on General Butler\'s 1935 book.
In 1935, retired General Smedley Butler published a small book entitled War Is a Racket, which explained how and why the US Government manipulates the country into various wars and military interventions for power and their own selfish interest.

This book does not favor either political party.
As of November 2016, the US was dropping bombs on seven different countries.
Currently, the US has approximately 800 bases in seventy countries.
The establishment carries on as if everything is okay, and they quickly forget about the dead and crippled.
There are never any consequences for invading the wrong country.
A characteristic of the Unites States foreign policy establishment is their refusal to admit they made a mistake.
Wars cannot always be avoided.
To state that the country should never go to war would be irresponsible.
