That is not an excuse, just an observed fact.

And if 'all that could be "easily" invented without war', then why wasn't it?

Really? Many of the founding fathers of science invented many new things, during times of peace, and many things they invented they didnt even know what good they were for, and they deffinitely didnt get any profit from them.... yet, they were still invented.

and your post leads to this one...

Quote:I disagree, and so does history.

seeing that, historically, America has seen about 3 dozen years of peace throughout its entire existence, while the rest of that time we have been in some sort of war, altercation, millitary action, or what not... I would very much like to see where you got your numbers from.

From what I see, many things would have been invented regardless of wether we were in war or not...but neither you or I can prove that when it comes to america, as america is almost CONSTANTLY at war.

Switzerland hasnt been in wars for a great long time...look at this list of famous inventors:

All done during peacetime from a peaceful country...it is also one of the richest countries in the world.
