    he's making an interesting (if facile) analytical point here-- but of course it only really cuts against a lib sort of justification for being anti-war (it's inefficient/costly).

    but we are anti-imperial war and anti-poverty because we want dignity for the least well-off; slight losses to "efficiency" are contemplated, and obviously worth it.

      Also the observation that a fight against poverty (under capitalism) if undertaken will be a forever war is a trivial one.
