Not until recent years. I spent from 1983 until 2003 in combat arms and aviation and never spent a day on the battle field.
For most of those years, there was no conflict that lasted more than a few minutes.
Grenada, Panama, Somolia...that type of stuff.

have you thought about how many people profit from war?

 

[Shikamaru]

tell that to the chinese

Still incorrect.
The government derives its revenues from its citizens and corporations, even in communistic forms of government.

Again, government does not produce wealth and prosperity.

If you believe government does, then perhaps all the citizens should cease working all together and let government tax and regulate the territory into prosperity???

If people and corporations cease generating income, what is there to tax and regulate???

the OP was a tax argument.

A select few

 

[jamesfrmphilly]

it is more than a "few".
the "defense" budget is $800B/yr.
i believe the capitalist profit motive is why we are in a constant state of war.
