You can feel as proud as punch about the sacrifices you have made in the perpetuation of endless warfare. Without perpetual war, our class society would become an amorphous better educated population and abject US poverty would not exist to the extent to have only the military to take up the slackers.
Heck, playing cowboy sure gets folks like you fired up.
If I were you I guess I would see people like cattle too.
If I had made war my career, I might have to see things the way you do to make sense of the slaughter.

You are really not talking about merely culling the herd, You are saying we need war to cement the status quo of the the ruling class.
