War is a Racket

During Marine Corps recruit training, you hear of a Marine that won two Medal of Honours by the name of Smedley Butler.  For years I just that he was just one of the most decorated Generals of all time but had no idea what he did after the corps.  Well, even after spending 34 years in the Marines and going to war multiple times, he shares the same vision we have of war we have: It is nothing but a pointless "Racket" 

Here is a quote from his speech/book entitled: "War is a Racket"

"WAR is a racket. It always has been.  It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope.  It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.

-Smedley D. Butler Major General USMC (ret.)

I believe that quote should be on the back of our shirts, what do you think?
