CONSTRUCTION & ENGINEERING – Endless war requires endless construction and building
repair. An added bonus for the Pentagon and the U.S. war industry is how this
construction activity effectively co-opts the working class, making them feel
like theyre on the same team as the troops. It is a very powerful narcotic.
When in reality, both the troops and the construction workers are used and
abused by the capitalist honchos of Wall Street, the CEOs of war corporations,
and corrupt high-ranking military officers in the Pentagon who are eying plush
jobs with war corporations.
