I'd vote for that. That will do it and to take the profit (and prophet) out of war. Make 'them' pay with their cold hard cash up front and 100% tax on any profits and see how many want to to do it then and with their own children as cannon fodder on the front line on the ground mano a mano, face to face with the 'enemy'. None of this drone business from 15,000 km away in front of a monitor. I do believe that was Smedley Butler's solution to war. Or peace depending on which way you like to see it. :fight:
