I hope these engineers stop and rethink what they’re doing. I’m sure they think they’re doing the right thing, but they should expand their outlook and consider that one day America may be in another war for its life or for the survival of freedom in the world. Do not be overly comforted by the relative peace since WW2. It was built by American military dominance, quickly fading as China becomes a formidable power. It is also fragile. A century is nothing in the grand scheme of things. If history is any guide, this period of extraordinary (but still relative) peace is an aberration that will pass. How will you feel when your sons and daughters are fighting for their country’s survival or against an expansionary tyranny, and all you ever did for the effort was try to leave your own military in as weak a position as possible.
