We have a lot of higher ranking officers who are part of the military industrial complex. Wars are a path to promotion and to a lucrative job working for a defense contractor once they retire from the military.
Trump has disrupted the gravy train by becoming the first president since Reagan to not get involved in foreign wars. They hate him for it.
I don’t know why anybody would want continuous warfare. Our soldiers are not meant to be put through a continual meat grinder for the benefit of defense contractors. They deserve better.
