Im asking this because i have to do a report on it and i would like to get some quotes from some people and their opinions, so feel free to say whatever you like and if you dont want it used or whatever just tell me and i wont use it. But i will give credit to you and wont say i said it. I just need some different opinions and ideas other than mine.

Uhh...Wars create tons of useful everyday technology such as better airplanes, radios, satelites. Shit like cell phones all trace back to defence technology.

Hell, the Department of Defense created the internet. That true. Not al gore(that no-nothing schmuck).

The dude who invented the machine gun thought that it would end war forever. He saw it as something that could do enough damage to deter anybody. Fuck that.

The a-bomb probably helped a lot with nuclear power plants and gave shitloads of knowledge about atomic energy.

Artifical satelites started as spy shit. That led to cell phones, sat. TV, and weather satelite shit.

Air force planes are bad ass. Oh yea...They made faster, better planes and shit.

There is no way to post it all. This is just of the top of my head.

The internet is a big one though. You can make a lot of blabber out of that.

thanks i just now that of the internet thing, do any of you know what war the internet was created in?

It wasn't really a war...just military comm. advancement from the cold war.

Here's a military quote for you.

The purpose of war is to kill. Wars stop when both sides tire of killing.

thanks nox ill use that.

I'm unhappy with the existence of gunpowder weapons, crossbows, and WoMD, but military advancement is a good thing, for the reasons given.

The main effect of gunpowder was that wars were no longer considered as honorable, and desirable to participate in.

Venefrigus, can you remember that quote in my sig on LIA? That would be a good one.

you could write about the HUGE jump of technology from WWI --> WWII, you could go of at a slight tangent saying maybe this has been acquired from aliens then make it applicable by saying if there was continued contact maybe the weapons would get stupidly powerful and be strong enough to destroy the entire planet, then say oh wait they already are, nukes etc then link back to technology coming from war as more complex and powerful computer processors were needed for the more complex calculations

True. But the technology leap from 1861-1865 was quantitatively and qualitativly greater.
