This idea is awful. Companies with a profit motive in charge of ending war? This is an outgrowth of using private contractors instead of regular military. Could that be a factor in never-ending war-mongering? I suspect so.

The never-ending war-mongering is from not having clear objectives, not recognizing the true enemy, and crushing it.

We crushed Nazism and Japanese militarism as ideologies. We refuse to face the issue of ideology today.

You are right. We (The U.S.) needs to learn the lessons of history and get out of Afghanistan.
