An abbreviated form.

The plane of the day is a brightly polished Ryan PT, a primary trainer for most WWII fliers. Another open cockpit and rotary engine.
I have previously promised you a way to end all war as we know it. Today I'll offer an abbreviated form and let it go at that. It's too intricate and unreasonable. I got the idea from a book Deb had given me when I left her nest after my incident. The book, "Three Cups of Tea " by Greg Mortensen, is still on the paperback best seller list today. It is a book that I never would have chosen but it changed my thinking forever (thanks Deb) and forms the basis of my idea. Since it it a given that war is good (profitable) for business, The solution to ending war is to remove the profit. It would be possible to solve our homeland social problems , generate good will around the world and put the excess war profits to good use. In one grand swoop.
Basically the idea is to heavily tax wartime profits and build schools around the world with the money. Instead of allowing each civilian death to be a recruiting poster for al Qaeda, build and equip one classroom in the war zone for each civilian death in the war zone (4500 dead in Iraq in 2009) and build and equip one school for each American service person killed in wartime. The war zone schools to educate the citizenry in order to encourage them to chose their own destiny. The American schools to be built in poverty stricken areas since it is generally the poor who risk their lives in wars. And I'll decide who to tax and how much as well as where and how to spend the money. Sort of a benign dictatorship.
The futility of war is proof that we're all on this flight together.
