Hmmm, but you cared enough to post a reply.
Mind explaining exactly why mankind "needs" wars? I'm curious.
Example: Without WW2 we would probably not yet have jet and rocket propulsion technology... Every truly GREAT technology is born out of a weapon, without the German V bombs, US wouldn't be able to reverse engineer them and create NASA... Without the german invention of a "jet-engine", we wouldn't be able to create jet airplanes, without the A-bomb, we wouldn't have nuclear power to create the electricity we oh so need...
Without the cold war, we wouldn't have GPS satellites...
It comes down to:
peace = stagnation
war = progress
Basically:
Ferengi Rule of Acquisition n° 35: War is good for business
A world without war would be boring, believe me...

We don't even have an army it's a lightly armed humanitarian aid force that isn't doing too much aiding so YES it sucks.Retalliation[1337] wrote:

do you agree with military testing weapons and biological agents on unknowing/unwilling servicemen? Or putting troops at risk to see the effects?
Dude, I fully realize that overpopulation can be solved that way. I think your flame/sarcasm detector is on the fritz.Rosse_modest wrote:

As to war relieving overpopulation stress, yes it does result in a reduction of human beings but then again part of the problem of overpopulation is the stress this causes on the environment. War in itself also draws some energy from the environment however.
He is partly right in saying war is progress however, although completely wrong in saying that peace is stagnation. War does provides a boom in many ways, it is under stress that we maximize our performance, when we really need to. There are upsides and downsides to anything, including war. Anyone saying otherwise is blind to the truth. Advances can also be made during peacetime, but not as fast.

You also know what it feels like to have a mortar blow away your underside?DocZ wrote:
troops know the risks when they join the army.... Don't join armed forces if you don't accept the risk of getting whacked... As for me, I would prosper if the battlefield of a modern war was on my front doorstep... Much must be risked in war... My situation is, I have already accepted the fact that I will someday cease to be, where, how, why and when, I cannot choose... But I can decide how to face that moment... And I have faced it before, more than once, I have stood on death's doorstep, I know what a bullet feels like when it sears your flesh...
