24. Profit Motive...
Well, I'm not so sure removing profit motive will make support for war melt away--we will still have to deal with a Fox News public and ego/legacy-fearing President with veto pen...

I can definitely imagine one thing though--without a profit motive in beginning, there would be no war in the first place. The military-industrial and oil complex had a hand in this--and a big one at that. Remove their motivation and the motivation to go in the first place falls away.
