from looking at history it appears there are times when armed conflict is the best moral choice a society can make. I agree, however I think we make the choice for war far more often than is morally necessary. We don't seem to draw the line at morals, but at whether it's financially beneficial for us. It feels like war has become America's most exported product. So I find your position laudable, yet misguided both on its goals and means to achieve them. I think you need to re-read what I said, you seem to be going off on a staw-man of your own creation. I merely mention that it'd be great if we could no longer afford war. I was arguing against war, not for using entitlements to pursue the goal of eliminating war.
