- pstuart 7y agoWar is a moral argument. Health and welfare of society is a moral argument. As for "maximizing output", I'm failing to see big returns here. Afghanistan? Iraq? Vietnam? The only output that was maximized was cashflow to the military industrial complex. I do believe in national security but the way we do it is not only inefficient, but manufactures more insecurity that feeds into the cycle.
