War
"There is a Great Beast loose in the world of men.It awoke in dark times, to fight a terrible enemy.
It stormed through Europe, across the far Pacific, and crushed the evil it found there underfoot.
But when it was victorious, when the crooked cross and the rising sun were done with, the Great Beast´s keepers found that it would not go back to sleep.
The Beast has many heads, and on its heads are written names. Lockheed. Bell. Monsanto. Dow. Grumman. Colt. And many more.
And they are very, very hungry.
So the Great Beast must be fed: and every generation, its country goes to war just to do that.
A war for war's sake, usually.
And some that could have been avoided. But there must be blood, in extraordinary quantities, and whether it is foreign or American is of no consequence at all.
And so, today, at some given country, someone's turn has finally arrived."
(excerto de "Born", de Garth Ennis, Darick Robertson e Tom Palmer )
