By building up forces in the area with carriers, the US military starts itching for a fight. People who’ve trained their whole life for this WANT a chance to show what they can do. It’s not about this being a good fight or bad fight, officers want promotions, soldiers want medials, to get those, war needs to happen, bombs need to fall, people need to die.

And now they are so close to it, they will be very disappointed if they don’t get the green light.

CEO’s see their profits go up when kids die.

Americans who grew up thinking they were going to be rich and get a trophy wife, see they can’t get there no matter what they do, want to feel powerful for a few seconds by seeing that sophisticated technology penetrate a country they know nothing about.
