/mlpol/ - My Little Politics

Lots of things. Unity. A cause to fight for. Development and innovation. Less people afterwards. You get stories to tell your grandchildren, or you can be in a story told to grandchildren (to cover both cases). And so on. But of course there is downsides too especially if you loose the war, so probably a good reason to fight; you don't want to loose.

Profit.

>>101002
The Bush administration.

>>101002
Technology.
The internet? Military project for faster communications to gain an edge over the Soviets.
Jet power? Luftwaffe invention to gain an edge over Britain.
Before WWII, most European planes were biplanes.
After WWII, Jet planes entered the stage.
NASA space program? V2 rockets.
Before WWII, most European armies still relied on horse transport.
After WWII, most armies were mechanized.
Nuclear power? Atomic bombs.

WWIII will either see unprecedented leaps and bounds in technology, or send us all back to the stone age.

War is a major driver of innovation.

Pretty much only this: conflict fuels innovation. It's no benefit to the generation fighting the war though.
Especially in cases like >>101007 when the war is horseshit to begin with and is only a machine working for the benefit of certain (((interest groups))).

>>101002
At this point, it is a sort of catharsis and a catalyst for growth. If inactive for too long, decay and inaction will destroy us. Adversity is needed for growth.

What kind of life is one where there's nothing you're willing to die to defend? That's what it's good for.

>>101002
War is good to end war.
