War has been reduced to just another business and we're not the first to do so. There are countries procrastinating over accepting peace because war (or the looming threat of war) puts them on the map when they would otherwise be insignificant on the world stage. Being unable to change them, we're tempted to join them for our own selfish reasons. Our all volunteer military has made that possible. Since no one has to be a part of it, we can let the marketplace determine the value of perpetual war.
