If anything, wars are an amazing source of technological advancement.
This is not to say that I want war, but to acknowledge the fact that it absolutely fuel innovation
Broken window fallacy.
The same funds used to pay for wars and wartime rnd could just be spent directly on rnd.
That is fair, I mainly wanted to counter the claim that wars won't advance tech
Could be, but usually aren't.
