Because War is nothing but a Business. The corporations who make weapons have to sell them all to someone so if not sold to the US they'll make and sell them in Russia, Korea, Iran there is always a buyer for them but even worse theres always a leader who'll use them too.

[@DexyD20]

I know red crosses mean medic and before it was restored it was red, you can just barely see the paint, but my point is more about the person who would have bought or been assigned such a lighter in the first place. Since medics are usually less violent than there soldier counterparts, I could see a medic carrying this more than a machine gunner or rilfleman. That being said it could have been anyone's because, if I went to war I wouldn't be a medic, but I sure as hell would have a lighter like that.

I am a Japanese viewer. I am not good at English, so I write this comment with the translation function. I also have Zippo. I bought it in Ueno, Tokyo to commemorate my 20th birthday. (Tobacco is allowed in Japan over the age of 20.) It was a replica of Zippo in the 1930s and I engraved my name and the name of the village on it. It was about 3 years and 8 months ago.I loved my mother. My mother got sick and was admitted to the hospital. You can't always be together at the hospital. So I told my mother, "When it's hard or lonely, think of this Zippo as me. It's engraved with my name. My heart is always by my side. The flames of my heart fighting illness. Don't erase it. "And handed me my Zippo. My mother wasn't a smoker, but she received Zippo. My mother was hospitalized and discharged several times, but each time she gave her Zippo. My mother died a year and eight months ago, but this time Zippo encourages me. Because, as I said, my mother didn't give up living to the end. Because he did not extinguish the flames of his heart fighting illness. With that Zippo, I feel like my mother will watch over me.
