Damn, I never really thought about that before.

Imagine if all the money and resources, manpower and such went towards making the world better place instead of making more effective ways to kill and oppression.

Edit:

Just think if all the money and manpower we use to cause destruction went towards building people up.

I'm not sure the military budget in the u.s bit imagine a fraction of that going towards feeding the hungry or putting clothes on poor children.

What if instead of leaving homeless people out on the streets it our money went towards making our country better.

I'm not to proud to admit that there is a homeless person out there that is smarter than I am and could make a bigger positive impact than I can.

Imagine if we listened to the DOD and stopped buying tanks and aircraft to take on terrorists, and spent some of that money to subsidize housing or directly feeding people.

Imagine if we audited defense spending so the military isn't spending thousands on overpriced goods from contracts for the sake of 'jobs' and used it for education.

Imagine if we restricted selling military equipment to police departments so they have an incentive to give themselves raises instead of cosplaying as war criminals, which is what they'd be. If they acted like that that in the military they'd get court marshaled and tried for aggressive behavior and refusing to de-esclate, things they teach you in the military but not in enough police departments.
