War!! what is it good for?? Absolutely nothing!! (Well i Disagree)

Before I start this post I am just going to state that coming into this idea I knew it could spark controversy and I know that very likely people won't like what I say, nor will they agree with it, but I am not asking that you do any of that, I am just going to propose the facts that I looked up, and I am using those along with my utmost knowledge to try and paint a picture for everyone that the media often overlooks in its overzealousness of the politics of war.

Yesterday I took a poll of 20 people and asked them a simple question of if they think war is necessary(note not meaning its a trivial task, just that war can be something required for society to move on). The results were as follows:
70% thought war is a necessary facit of society
30% believe war is not necessary in any means

Okay now that I have posted what others believe I think its only fair and correctly right of me to publish what I feel on war. If you don't agree with how I feel, comment on it, for I wanted to create this post in order to see how my fellow teens feel on this issue, because the way this world is going war will become a more common occurence throughout our times.

My feelings on war are that it is more then a necessary part of society. I honestly believe that in order for man to move on and become better as a whole, war must happen. I don't believe war should be taken or thought of lightly, for the consumption of man and material alike is horrific, but without war there may never truly be peace. But more on the point of my feelings is how I feel war progresses society along as a whole, technologically, economistically, and diplomatically. The way of technology is by far the most drastically touched part of war and society. Whenever you hear the sirens of an ambulance you owe that to the Union Soldiers of the Civil War who invented the first ambulance to ferry soldiers off the battlefield to a medical station. A horse drawn buggy with a first aid symbol has now become a massive life saving vehicle in our time. Ever use a GPS system? GPS was created for use in smart bombs and motorized infantry in order to coordinate efforts and eliminate the usage of land based navigation. The system which is highly efficient in the military has also improved travel among ordinary civilian lifestyle. The food market has benefited highly from war as well. In WWII the Japanese created the first biological weapon of mass destruction. Designed to spread throughout a population and utterly infect anyone within hundreds of miles, they are quite efficient killers. But those same biological weapons are tampered with and then used on our farmers fields to kill off masses of bugs and insects which would eat through all of the crops. The pesticides are generally harmless to humans before you worry. The greatest technological advancement to come from war is also from WWII and the benefits to our society from this one technology are too numerous to list. This also came from the Axis side, and was used as a massive weapon of terror and mass destruction. The V2 rocket. Launched from France it could be aimed at London and would detonate in the city with little to no warning and killed thousands. After the war the United States took the German engineers and brought them here to work on our space program. An advanced version of the V2 Rocket carried the first Americans into space and carried Neal Armstrong to the moon. All rockets that are currently used to shuttle things into space are possible due to the German weapon of terror. Advancements in our society are largely due to the research that may only be done in space. Cancer treatments, power tools, automated cooling engines, more efficient growing methods. All of this is courtesy of space based research.
Economically everyone knows about the Great Depression which rocked the world in the 1930's one of the greatest factors in Hitlers being able to take over German and possibly one of the largest sparks to World War II it was also solved by the war itself. The American and other nations factories had to start producing war materials which drove the economy to a massive boom. No other event could have ended the Great Depression so soon.
A factor that almost no American can deny a benefit of is energy. The most efficient form of energy while also being the best power producing system is nuclear energy. Say whatever you wish about nuclear weapons, atomic energy is the safest and most efficient energy source known to man.
On the picture I have above I do want to say one point though, the bomb being dropped from the stealth bomber cost about 2 million dollars, thats one bomb. Each of those machines of war up above cost millions, some even billions of dollars to create and maintain. The cost in dollars of war may be better spent on peace and disease research, but millions of jobs in this country are created to use and maintain and create these war machines, and the strength of our economy utterly depends on our military spending.
I am not saying to anyone that war is something that we should always have, peace is the ultimate goal to war, at least that is the American directive. Bad men will always exist in this world, and sometimes war is the only way to stop the agendas of these sad souls. War on the whole though is and i shall always feel this way a necessary aspect to our society. Its not just necessary its something that man must embrace and accept if we are ever to move forward.

"The fear we must fear most is the indifference of good men"

War is an ineveitablilty... peace is an impossibility... the only guarantee is that there are brave men out there who will fight the ineveitable in order to achieve the impossible.
