Whatever. Bottom line is that peace was in the crosshairs and god forbid there be any peace. How would Boeing and Raytheon make any money?
Wars rarely make much money for manufacturers. You'd be better off looking towards food companies being motivated, seeing as how most of our money is spent on logistics in wars and not weapons.
Our military equipment was bought like 20-40 years ago, if you look at our aircraft and so on. It wasn't bought during the war, and our largest military arms build up in history was the cold war, where we didn't even fire a single shot. People buy military equipment in anticipation of a military conflict, not during one. That would be like buying a gun during a robbery; you don't wait until you're being mugged to buy a gun, you have to have it before hand, especially if you want to be trained and skilled with it.
Furthermore, there's still the option we will have peace with Russia. And there was no peace in Syria with or without the U.S.'s involvement. The war was going on before we bombed the air base in Syria. And it will continue after; only, with a war, there's a chance it might end.
People always try to say that the U.S. is responsible for all the casualties in all the wars we've ever been in. But if you look, they usually occur long before our invasion. Is the deaths of all those innocent people in Syria now our fault just because we invade now, 6 years after the civil war has started? Uh, no, and you'd have to be a moron to think that's the case.
