Not to be outdone by his partner Charlie Munger (who offended many with his comments that "gold is a great thing to sew onto your garments if you're a Jewish family in Vienna in 1939,"), Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett - having already taken on Europe, comparing Greece to a "dog peeing on the carpet" of Europe, suggesting Germany stop "rewarding behavior you want to get rid of" - takes aim at the military. Speaking on Bloomberg TV, the octagenerian oracle of offense just unfriended every American veteran...
"You want everybody educated to their potential. You want people to reach their potential. That still won't work for some people in a highly developed market system.
I mean if this were a sports-based system, you could give me a PhD in football, and I could practice eight hours a day, and I might be able to carry the water from, not onto the field, but from the locker room to the bench. There's just some people don't fit well into a highly skilled market-based economy.
They're perfectly decent citizens. We'll send them off to Afghanistan, but they are not going to command a big price."
* * * So just the words of a funny old man who is losing his marbles, or an elitist "crony" oligarch who knows there are no consequences for his words or actions?
On the bright side, at least he did not mention illegal immigrants.

How about just an arrogant old pr!ck?
“Halp us Warring Buffett - We R stuck hear n Afganhistan’
How Kerry-like of him.
Another stupid elitist trying to sound clever.
Unfortunately, that’s a classic solution for an imbalanced society: start a war designed to kill off most of your unwanted population.
Be very concerned when someone very influential suggests it openly.
...and remember, China has a young male surplus they need to, um, address.
Go Trump go.
Warren Buffet the “Bottom Feeder” of the worst kind.
Sad for him he can’t buy his way out of deepest hell because it won’t be long now.
They will say how great he is, how small a house he has, blah blah blah.
The truth is, he just another lost soul who has rejected God. He has no use for God, and the Almighty will someday return the favor.
“Another stupid elitist trying to sound clever”
Box Business needs to stop bowing at alter of this creep, demented Obama ass licking POS.
Didn’t Lurch say pretty much the same thing:
“You know education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.”
Why send them there? Maybe we should send them to take out the fascist who feed off the people that they rob blind with government policy. Now who could that be? Um maybe you Warren old buddy.
“Fox”
The Oracle of Omaha.
More like the a$$hole of Omaha.
Buffet wouldn’t be able to enjoy his billions if it weren’t for the sacrifices of our military.
What a condescending ass.
My version is:
You know education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you dont, you get stuck being Secretary of State.
