"In the World War [I] a mere handful garnered the profits of the conflict.At least 21,000 new millionaires and billionaires were made in the UnitedStates during the World War. That many admitted their huge blood gains intheir income tax returns. How many other war millionaires falsified theirtax returns no one knows."
"How many of these war millionaires shouldered a rifle? How many of them duga trench? How many of them knew what it meant to go hungry in arat-infested dug-out? How many of them spent sleepless, frightened nights,ducking shells and shrapnel and machine gun bullets? How many of themparried a bayonet thrust of an enemy? How many of them were wounded orkilled in battle?"
Someone posted this in a comment on Stan Goff's blog, Feral Scholar. Gotta love this general.
