There is an element of truth in the cartoon that makes the situation truly pathetic. Our sons and daughters are the cannon fodder for the sons and daughters of the oligarchs!

The sons and daughters of our country fighting wars old men have started, sometimes for nobel reasons, sometimes for utterly stupid reasons.
TrumpCo.has raised war profiteering to an alarming level, though, but I imagine they'll get away with every bit of it. No republicans have shown signs they're bothered by it at all. However, if a Democrat had done 1% of TrumpCo's illegal activity they'd bring the country to a halt (which they've pretty much done already, but not because they're alarmed at anything Trump has done).
