Winning & Losing

Starting 2 realize a funny thing. Your government goes into war after war but instead of just losing, is completely unwilling to win. It's about sustaining the military industrial complex. If wars ever ended in quick decisive victories, it would be an unsustainable complex, so they invest miniscule amounts of energy, just enough to keep the players fed without actually hitting the ball.

As long as there are no technological improvements and the war is never won, they can keep the money flowing indefinitely. Your government's position on war is the same as every other union story. Use inferior technology and maintain a competitive disadvantage so the legions of unskilled workers in camp Haliburton can stay employed.

We'll probably never work in the military industrial complex. The growth in military technology that it takes to win is only happening in Iran & China. If you sell UAVs, you have exactly 2 customers: Bin
Laden & Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Suppose Al Queda and the House of Representatives have a point in that their government shouldn't fight wars if it's completely uninterested in winning.
