I saw you mentioned on that other board that Republicans starting wars is a recent occurence, and I can explain why. Starting a war used to be much easier for Democrats during the DRAFT. Everyone went so that poor people, Democratic key audience, wasn’t unilaterally targeted. Republicans were reluctant to start a war because their sons and daughters would get drafted.
Also, during the DRAFT it was cheaper to get people in the military since large bonuses didn’t not exist.
Now, that there is no draft and you can fight wars by luring poor people unilaterally with people’s tax dollars, Republicans are very eager! Why have social services programs when you can crush and conquer?
