I see the connection that you made using Owen’s poem and relating the mustard gas to a strategy of imposing death as a war tactic. Also, I understand how technology has played such a pivotal role in the advancement of the U.S. military in terms of fighting wars by land, sea, and air. Technology has been on the side of the U.S. since the fighting of wars began. Military spending is the reason why the U.S. has such advancements in technology, which is a high cost to pay because of it’s impact on the economy. The questions asked in your post are good questions. I also wonder how much money the U.S. is going to spend and willing to spend for military purposes. The Iraq war for example, has already cost the U.S. three times as much as it expected. Recently in the Iraq war, cold war, and the Vietnam War, it appears that the U.S. is using its technology to help fight other countries wars. The price of these wars in high in dollar amounts, but I think the costs are higher in terms of life and humanity.
