How does this help the US?

Another campaign promise down the gutter

grifters keep losing their souls in the name of a paycheck.

No matter how long this goes on, or where it spreads, a lot of people are going to make money. A lot of people are going to die (are now dying). I'm not clever. I can see some of the beneficiaries of this war, but there is such a level of muck hidden from view that I can't possibly know them all. One thing for sure. We are getting burned and other people are getting exactly what they want. U. S. security be damned, because this is certainly not good for U.S. security. Risks to our security come from other places in the world.

Hard to think of anything else, but we have to, don't we? Basically, we have no control over, not even an effect on, the course of events.
