Yes, that is like being a pacifist but investing in weapon manufacturers. It is easy money and it is attractive, but it is wrong and by making money off of it you become part of it.

“If you want peace, prepare for war” is literally a 2500 year-old sentiment. If you were a mugger, whom would you rob, a guy who walks around saying how he has no means to defend himself, or a guy who is armed to the teeth?

  Okay Smartypants, I’m talking about the USA, not some peaceful country that only defends itself.

    No country just defends itself. Look at history. Not the worlds fault USA tries to catch up with EU history with speedrun tactics ( we are currently in dark middle ages - Jerusalem, Crusading, Plague ( soon ) and fall of education )
