“Will she grow up in a poorer….country” Yes let’s don’t pretend that she won’t and hope that we will become less militiaristic in the same sentence. Our Military had an enormous effect on the wealth of our nation and the globe can not take that sort of command structure anymore.We will be poorer or MORE militaristic. I hope for the former. Why do we see that as the ultimate failure? Starvation is failure but other than that the possibilities are pretty broad.
