War Is A Racket. It Always Has

I Served In All Commissioned Ranks From Second Lieutenant To Major-general. And During That Period, I Spent Most Of My Time Being A High Class Muscle-man For Big Business, For Wall Street And For The Bankers. In Short, I Was A Racketeer, A Gangster For Capitalism.

I Believe In Adequate Defense At The Coastline And Nothing Else. If A Nation Comes Over Here To Fight, Then We'll Fight. The Trouble With America Is That When The Dollar Only Earns 6 Percent Over Here, Then It Gets Restless And Goes Overseas To Get 100 Percent. Then The Flag Follows The Dollar And The Soldiers Follow The Flag.

I Helped Purify Nicaragua For The International Banking House Of Brown Brothers In 1909-1912. I Brought Light To The Dominican Republic For American Sugar Interests In 1916. In China I Helped To See To It That Standard Oil Went Its Way Unmolested.

If Only More Of Today's Military Personnel Would Realize That They Are Being Used By The Owning Elite's As A Publicly Subsidized Capitalist Goon Squad.

War Is A Racket. It Is The Only One International In Scope. It Is The Only One In Which The Profits Are Reckoned In Dollars And The Losses In Lives.
