I wouldn't be against wise military spending in science. In a twisted way, improvements in national offensive capability find their way down to consumers. In fact, in transportation, we still haven't much outdone the breakthroughs of World War Two. Another advantage to focusing on superior weaponry is that they can be manned by man, woman or child without any measurable loss in destructive output. Each human is equipped to take out ten to fourteen hundred times their own number in every conceivable combat scenario. Babies, too, can be made to learn to shake grenades from the German army surplus store, purchased in keeping with traditionally frugal DND policy, disguised as rattles or rolling pins or bowling pins, and to drop them on the floor - if their hands are strong enough. And, of course, we'd have to make some changes to the kid's songs, like changing the Sugar and Spice song for girls to Lugar and Mace. We're ahead of the rest of the world here in East Van, with that one. We could all play soccer in the park to disguise our war strategy from the Americans - except maybe our American relatives. And when we go camping, we'll bring our backpacks and walkie-talkies. 'This is X-M-Y...Why? Because we love you! 5-5-6...No tricks! calling S-K-E-R-K...O for Ok! W for Why?...' Everyone would know how to climb a wall. And the ones who couldn't could hold the rope at the bottom, on the other side, and still play an important role. They could also operate the heavy machinery more efficiently. Throw an extra howitzer on that lift truck! It'll hold! And everyone would learn how to survive alone against a built up town.
