The reader who sent this question posed at left provided his one-word answer: Greed.

I’m afraid he’s right. As Socrates said, “All wars are about money.” And as our annual military budget gets ever closer to $1 trillion, all that cash needs a home, normally in proxy wars that are being fought all around the globe.

Of course, greed has horrific effects that push far beyond actual military hardware and personnel. Consider climate change as an example. Big Oil and its investors are profiting enormously from their actions that are warming our planet causing loss of land masses, droughts, fires, desertification, floods, loss of biodiversity, and ocean acidification. This, as our generals and admirals are aware, is in the process of creating huge national security issues as climate refugees are forced to emigrate from their homelands.

I know there are people hoping to see human civilization destroy itself, to welcome in the apocalypse as forecast in the book of Revelation. In fact, one of my co-coaches in the days our kids played soccer had this precise belief.

When I explained that my life’s work was to halt the destruction of human society, he chastised me: “Oh no Craig! The sooner life on Earth comes to an end, the sooner Christ will return to summon us all to Heaven!”

I wasn’t impressed with his thinking.
