Re: Coventry and war
Hey Big dog, have to make a point here.
You said, >"War is about money, and lives are spent like dollar bills Not worth it unless you like profits more than people."
Methinks this is just the voice of cynic coming out here--at least I hope so. To cite money as the prime mover for war, or political action, or anything for that matter, is to reference Karl Marx. Marxian analysis would call this economic determinism and a characteristic of dialectical materialsim.
War sucks, the only "good" things to come from it are referenced by the side that wins. Useful technology development is put on ice to feed the war machine. Any thing of use to come from war development is merely a fortuitous accident.
