J.R. X - - Con.

This is coolbert:

Extracts taken from the original article of J.R. found here.

J.R. raises some interesting points with regard to war and the cons of war.

I agree 100 % with J.R. regarding his contention that war is a bane to the economy, NOT a boon.

I disagree 100 % with J.R. regarding his contention that our military may produce a crop of homicidal maniacs that pose a threat to the society at large.

On the rest of the issues that J.R. has raised, I generally agree with him, WITH qualifications, sometimes significant qualifications.

Next, the pros of war.
