August1991 Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) In a previous life, I sat in a meeting listening to other Westerners discuss an international crisis, a military affair, and how to respond, what to do. I was astonished. I realized that the modern West has two bureaucratic industries: The first industry wants to help others in a crisis. The second industry wants to know how to pursue a war. ===== I reckon that because of taxes and bureaucracy, both industries are sadly part of 21st century life.

kimmy Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Which two industries? Relief agencies and weapons manufacturers? I think both of them have been around for many centuries in various forms... I don't think this is a uniquely 21st century phenomenon that's emerging. -k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeferMadness Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 How cynical that people would equate relief agencies with the weapons industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
