Cut education spending and give more money to the military? Just means the military will have to start picking up some of the slack.

It's not a flaw, it's a feature.
Reduce education, opportunities and healthcare, and people will be thankful that they can sign up to a military that provides all those.

Uh..no. Increase education and healthcare and you wouldn’t have senseless wars. Think about it.

Sure, but think about the shareholders!

What shareholders?! You mean arms dealers? They do not share anything.

Grumman Northrop has for years been selling the army on developing systems they already know won’t work but ask for additional funding anyway. Billions going to shareholders and it’s all fraud.

well that works for one side. no guarantee that the other side will choose education and healthcare and become less prone to violence.
that said i do think as a species if we looked out for each more (education, healthcare, and a host of other things) we'd definitely have less senseless violence.
