Evening All
I may be all wrong here in my thinking but feel free to straighten me out. War is a necessary evil in many ways. One it keeps the population in check. When a war is going on it creates jobs, ya have to support the war effort, and that means troops have to be transported, food to feed them, medical care for the wounded, clothing for the troops, munitions of all sorts, fuel, maintain all the equipment etc etc. I think you get the picture that somebody is making lots of money.
In the 60's and 70's population control was a big issue and it seemed like a week couldn't go by without hearing or reading about how rapidly the population was increasing and if we didn't do something about it we would self distruct. Wars have a nasty way of taking care of populations, I don't like it, but it's a fact.
Well I hope things get settled over there without another war. They have been going at it for hundreds of years and the only thing that has changed is the weapons have gotten more sophisticated. MC
