If a nation was smart, if it was financially responsible, it would ask, "What is the weapon of 50 years from now that would render obsolete our weapons of today?" Then they would build it. Think of the trench war - World War I and what one weapon would have won it in days... A "Puff the Magic Dragon" (C130 gunship) or even an Mk-19 would have put a fast end to the wars. What would put a fast end to today's wars? It's no secret that Reagan's SDI (Star Wars) or better yet the EMP bomb is needed for tomorrow's wars (as war machines's dependencies on satellites and electronics will grow. So why are they not a reality? Because there is great profit in inefficiencies. Why sell one bomb when you can sell bullets and bombs and armor and vehicles and planes, etc? Because there's great profit in each piece sold and maintaining each piece.
