War Is A Racket: Part II

"George raised a rifle company, marched away at its head. Noah hired a village idiot to fight in his place, converted the saw factory to the manufacture of swords and bayonets, converted the farm to the raising of hogs.

And made this discovery: Government objections to the price or quality of his wares could be vaporized with bribes that were pitifully small."
