In a recent conversation, former Army Ranger Nicholas Irving expressed a stark perspective on America’s continuous state of conflict, arguing that the nation “doesn’t know what peace is” after generations defined by war. Irving highlighted how the U.S. political leadership often plays a role in perpetuating ongoing military engagements to sustain the military-industrial complex and the financial interests behind it. Reflecting on recent diplomatic efforts like the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA), he criticized Presidents Obama, Trump, and Biden for failing to maintain genuine, peaceful resolutions, suggesting deeper forces behind the scenes prioritize conflict over peace.
Irving pointed out that from World War II to Vietnam, the Gulf Wars, and beyond, Americans have grown up surrounded by warfare, making peace a foreign concept. “This nation is a slave to war,” he said, emphasizing the ingrained cycle of violence and political maneuvering that keeps America entangled in global conflicts, with few truly desiring lasting peace.
