Hi Amelia, I take the same view as you that all five experts have discussed the issues about war and authors have different thoughts about the war. In addition, experts discuss about the harm that the war brought to people and their country, reason why countries go to war, why the government tries to influence people to join or participate to war. In Helen Keller article, the way I understand the excerpt is countries go to war because of exploitation and to occupy or take over a country. In John Reed's excerpt, he discusses how World War 1 brought a lot of disadvantages and effects to working people, and I agree in your post that the minimum wage workers do not see war beneficial to them, but only for politician and employers who makes money
