You missed one "War" right there under the "Economy" subtitle
How's the Afghanistan and Iraq wars working out for the US economy at the moment, OP? You absolute moron.
To be honest I would give up those inventions if I could return all the war casualties back to life.
The inventions will be invented at some given time anyway.
Radar was invented by the UK not the USA.
War is only fun to those who have not experienced it.
[QUOTE=B-hazard;21941524]Radar was invented by the UK not the USA.[/QUOTE]
It was invented independently a dozen times
War is never a good thing, it's always better to sort things out with non-lethal way.
Shall we compare the amount of inventions made in peace time then the amount made in war time?
Also I'd love to see you try and lecture war vets that it was a good thing their mates died in a pointless war cause it lined the pockets of a couple of corporations.

Nobody who has experinced war would ever say somthing like this.
Go fight on the battlefield then come back and say this, and no i don't mean the game battlefield.
I'm sure tons of people would want their relatives alive over possible inventions.
Not even worth it tbh, these are all financial gains. Which to be honest the country can get them from elsewhere besides war. The cost of lives isn't worth the financial gain. But seeing as you like war and what it does, i say you be the first of the many to die for the country.
Ridiculous. This kinda supports accusations/the fact that America wages war over its own interest/for its own good and not to defend that democracy stuff and all the jazz they say to cover up their oil crusades. No offence
War decreases over-population.
But then once you get out of a war and everyone is used to populating all the time it starts again.

[QUOTE=DieselPowered;21940794]If we weren't fighting now, you either a wouldnt have gas for your car or be paying $6/gallon.

How many people have to die before six dollars a gallon becomes an acceptable price for petrol?

I don't think you really know a war veteran or you wouldn't advocate it.
War is never good for anyone you know..
I hate it when OPs try to look smart. War is never good. Do you want your friends or own people to die?

You're the overzealous ass who can't realize that the deaths of any individual are not worth the benefit of any others. If a war must be fought in self defense, let it be so, but the prick who threw the first stone isn't right.

And have fun fighting in a war that isn't even really a war, what with the strong possibility that the only enemy you'll die from is some dude in a cave who left a carbomb on a road before he shot himself

and I'm totally sure you'll still be thinking war is worth it when you're in a VA hospital next to a bunch of poor boys suffering from PTSD, or even better, when you look down and realize your legs aren't there

last edit, just FYI, call of duty is not a good indication of what a battle is like, keep that in mind
War = Bargains.

I don't really see the honor in being shot for someone else's land, or a flag, or because "Uncle Sam" said so.
War is the result of nationalism is a part of the human condition is a perfect example of what evil creatures we all are.
