War is their business, their only business.
Sounds like a bunch of jackasses who enjoy endless war. George Washington warned us about these guys and their foreign entanglements.

Hm... Well isn’t that ironic...
You do know that George Washington asked for French military help to win Americas war of independence. Right? Than God for the French “NeoCons” back then... Without France’s massive military support for America, America would have been a colony today, and not an independent country.
The French Aristocrat Who Helped George Washington Defeat The British:
Sending the French troops to help America... :
Lafayette’s flamboyant exercises and close relationships in America, coupled with Benjamin Franklin’s diplomatic efforts in Paris, resulted in formal French support: the French Court at Versailles recognized American independence on March 20, 1778. Lafayette returned to Paris that year to seek more concrete French support. He got it: when he returned to America, it was as an official representative of France. The French navy was dispatched in August of 1778; French General Jean Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, comte de Rochambeau (yes, another aristocrat) landed his troops in Rhode Island in 1789, and plotted the strategy to entrap the British at Yorktown, Virginia. Most importantly, despite being better trained, better armed, and more experienced than the Americans, the French military agreed to serve under General Washington. Their target was another aristocrat: British Lieutenant General Lord Charles Cornwallis.
In the end, 16,000 soldiers in three armies (two of them French), two navies (both of them French), covering 1600 miles, commanded by two generals who needed a translator (Lafayette of course) to speak to each other, laid siege to the British and forced the surrender of General Cornwallis at Yorktown. Lafayette was just 24 years old.
Two men, from two different countries and of two different generations, sharing a common commitment to liberty and a commitment to the rights of man, had changed the world.

Wrong. Their “business” IS NOT war. It is the study of war. They are not in the “business” to “make war” or suggest we should. The point of their work is to provide lessons to policy makers from their studying of what was done before, what is now being done, not being done and considering to be done, to improve policies to both avoid conflict if possible and conduct ourselves better if necessary.
