Wars just don't seem to stop. A British military historian puts it down to profit, power, ego and the odd instance of desperation for resources. I'm reminded of the Vietnam War: yanks sent conscripts into 8 weeks training (that has to be the shortest training ever), into battle with no front lines, so constantly going over the same ground, Polish ships loaded yank guns and ammo in yank ports, unloaded in North Vietnam to supply the Viet Cong to fight the conscripts. Money was made.

For the next two decades veterans rebelled against the betrayal, that was self-censored by their media, who made heros of the police who shot the veterans. Thus the sheer number of World War II surplus .30 calibre rifles owned by yank police forces.
