为什么值得读
- 两度荣膺荣誉勋章的功勋海军陆战队将领撰写
- 无情揭露企业与军工复合体从战争牟利的机制
- 提出战时征用一切资本与利润的道德方案
精彩地勾勒出究竟是谁在放任战犬肆虐中牟取暴利，又是谁在其中遭受损失。对政治本质与战争暴利的严厉抨击。揭露了战争奸商利用宣传掩盖真相的行径，以及对那些被战争机器摧毁生计的人们缺乏关怀的现实。对于所有将公职视为老虎机的人来说，这都应当是一部必读之作。

……为你的国家和政府打仗杀敌，它完全可能被用来打那些根本没那么重要或缺乏深思熟虑的战争。如果一场战争不是重大的国家紧急状态，那它很可能就不是正义之战。我认为斯梅德利·D·巴特勒少将的《战争是一场骗局》给出了道德上的解决方案。一旦发生战争，就应该征用一切，包括人口和资本利润。如果不上战场，你的工资就该和被征召的士兵一样……
…that fights and kills for your nation and government and it can be used to fight wars that are not that important or well thought. If war is not big national emergency, it's probably not a just war. I think 'War Is a Racket' by Major General Smedley D Butler provides ethical solution. When there is a war, you conscript everything, people and profits. If one is not going to war, one works with the same pay as a conscript…
这一丁点都不幼稚。这就是美国的历史。从最开始一直到现在都是如此。不过世界上大多数国家的历史也大抵如此。你或许也该去看看斯梅德利·巴特勒的《战争是一场骗局》。接着你可能还会想弄明白，当初寡头们建立美国到底是为了什么。跟自由根本半毛钱关系都没有，全是为了土地和财富。
It isn't childish. It's the history of the US. From the very beginning to today. But that's the history of most nations around the world. You might also want to check out "War is a Racket" by Smedley Butler. Then you might want to check out why the oligarchs created the US in the first place. Had nothing to do with freedom or liberty. It was about land and wealth.
从来就没停过，而且美国就是最恶劣的罪魁祸首之一。去看看美军将军斯梅德利·巴特勒写的《战争是一场骗局》吧，还有斯诺登的文件以及整个阿桑奇/维基解密事件。
It never stopped, and the US is one of the worst offenders Check out War is a Racket, by US general Smedley Butler Also the Snowden documents and the whole Asange/Wikileaks case
> 另外还可以参考荣誉勋章获得者、陆军少将斯梅德利·巴特勒的《War is a Racket》（1935）[1] 那是一篇极好的文章，在 HN 上也引起过很多关注：https://hn.algolia.com/?q=War+is+a+Racket 讨论最热烈的一次……

……被安抚的邻国到底有什么真正的威胁，还是只不过提供了廉价劳动力、市场准入和海外矿产权的机会。这种事已经持续很久了（读读斯梅德利·巴特勒在《War is a Racket》里说的话），但伊拉克战争之后，美国的信誉应该已经跌到地狱里了。
…pacified neighbors has any real threats or merely opportunities for cheap labor, market access, and mineral rights abroad. This has been going on for a very long time (read what Smedley Butler said in "War is a Racket"), but after the Iraq War, the credibility of the US should be somewhere in hell.
