Sometimes I feel like we try too hard.
We keep building bigger and better guns, pouring thousands and millions and billions of dollars into the war machine while the world as we know it begins to collapse upon itself. I don't understand how we can justify wasting money on destruction when we've already destroyed half the planet. Do we really need to kill that extra army? Do we really need to get that bigger gun?
What scares me the most is the quote from the Chief of Naval Operations : ""I never ever want to see a Sailor or Marine in a fair fight. I always want them to have the advantage".
It's war, not a Saturday morning soccer match. How can we even begin to classify destruction as progress?
Obviously I don't have any answers to these questions, but it's food for thought.

Hi, Jackie, I know it might be difficult to answer, but, what might be the bright side of this story? The question might be, to whom certain technology is utopian, to whom certain technology is dystopian?
