This could be said of almost any people. And it certainly is true of Americans, who had the first Industrial War, with shocking casualties - their Civil War. Europe did the same thing, with even worst destruction - in WWI. This was followed by the Depression, and then WWII. All very destructive.
Americans now have their Afghanistan War - their longest war ever. This is not much of a war, but it satisfies America's need to have a war somewhere - and wastes huge amounts of money.
In every case, the combatants felt they had to go to war. Which is sometimes true - if a country is being invaded. Or if the winner gets the riches of the loser. Or for no reason at all - except the powerful need to have a war.
But the worst effect of all - is the need to not know what we are like. A need that is now global in size. People everywhere have to not know, what is going on.
But watch their Televisions for the News, instead.
