Every war I can think of was caused by one side or the other wanted money or power from the other. So in my opinion war is about lining peoples pockets.
I would have to respectfully disagree with such a generalized statement (quote). On my side of the family we have been involved in conflicts to include, but not limited to, the English Civil War, the American Revolution, the War of 1812 and the American Civil War. I would have to say that I believe that all the men who both fought and lived and fought and died were fighting for something and to me they count for everything.
