If history shows anything, it is that is absolutely sucks to be on the losing side of a military conflict.
As an American, I am happy that the US develops and fields weapons, including A-10's, that help win conflicts.
War always sucks. There is always suffering and innocent lives lost. This is better solved by limiting what wars we engage in, than in feeling bad about our warfighting equipment.
- thatguy0900 6y agoExcept when you build such a large war industry that stopping the wars isn't really an option, which is where we are now.
- hesdeadjim 6y agoMy point has nothing to do with the equipment. It's the cultural celebration of warfare and the white washing of the true horrible nature of war. "This gun is f'n awesome" is but a symptom of the true problem. I'm not ignorant to human nature and our inherent trend towards conflict, I'm just somewhat sad that our culture in particular throws the metaphorical gas on the flame.
- Jarolis 6y agoI feel like you're missing the forest for the trees. We love all kinds of things of a technical nature. Trains, skyscrapers, bulldozers, rockets, tanks, guns, etc. I love driving a tank in video games and I love watching movies about tanks, but that doesn't mean I condone their use in real-world warfare unless absolutely necessary.
