Karl von Clausewitz Quote

“No one starts a war -- or rather no one in his senses ought to do so -- without first being clear in his mind what he intends to achieve in that war and how he intends to conduct it.”

~ Karl von Clausewitz

LBJ, he starts Vietnam to achieve wealth for himself and conduct it to last longer than any other conflict we had ever had up to that time.

To find out who starts wars and why, just follow the money.

Mike, Norwalk

To "start" a war ? What "reason" is there to start a war ? LBJ's self enrichment occurred (as cal stated) but, at what cost to humanity ? Where was the clear mind ? Mr. Obamunist Goodwrench the peace prize winning assassin, as the head executive of the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land starts wars with a clear mind of destroying the last remnant of a once prosperous and free We The People. Is that enough accuracy to qualify for "in his senses ought to do so" ?
