ugh, that upbeat music choice for the presentation video made me slightly sick.
Had a similar reaction once before, after randomly walking in a military exhibition. While I understand the need for defence capabilities, and I can be impressed by the engineering, I don't get the triumphant glitter surrounding the showcase of killing machines.
- pmoriarty 5y agoWhat I find more disturbing is that there are people who willingly work on this and who get rich off of it. You know, the other day I saw a news headline about one of the world's biggest arms dealers being arrested... and the first thought through my mind was, "What? They arrested the United States?" Being a small fry, independent arms deal is grounds for imprisonment, but doing it as part of a nation-wide effort will get you wealth, medals, social status and government funding.
