This article presents the author's reflections on the structure of U.S. society since World War II, highlighting its perpetual state of war and the amount of resources devoted to that purpose. The large amount of financial resources dedicated to warfare in U.S. policy is analyzed. The dramatic elements and performance analysis of propaganda and public image are explored.
