When we were VERY little, my dad used to make up stories.
The best by far was the war of the worms, which involved the battle of the butterflies, and attacking ants, and bombardment by bees. They were probably crap, but we never got tired of them, and made him tell us the same story again and again.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

Aegean Anti-Piracy Operations -- The US kicks Greek pirate butt

Afghan War - US kicks Al Qaeta and Taliban butt
Iraq War - US kicks Hussein butt, again.
