    This is why class analysis is important. Iraq was a huge money sink for America. Trillions down the drain. But the elites still made a ton of money and they stuck the government (and Americans) with the bill. This is one of the contradictions of capital that production and extraction are social but profit is private. You went to Iraq to fight, kill, and die in groups but it's the profit is taken by the capitalists who only benefit from the war.

        Cheaper for who? Sure its cheaper for workers or even for the government. But the workers are not in charge, and the government is run by different factions of capital that don't get along.
