Can wars be good?
Yes. Technological advancement is a twisted and evil justification for war.

That baffles me. These are real people. You have no right, nor does anyone else, to make that choice.

These are some of the most evil statements I have ever seen. You're telling me that the murdur of millions of people is a good trade off for having the Internet a few years earlier or a flag on the moon?

1. Prohibition does not work. 2. Prohibition creates creates organized crimes. 3. You have the right to your own body Three strikes, you're out. 4. It is imoral to use force against someone who has not violated another persons rights. And, that's ball game folks!

Can wars be good?
I've seen different numbers but ill adress THESE ones. It's obvious that the male population went off to war and then the female population stayed and had to work to supply the war. Employment isn't NOT the role of the economy. The economy is a means of producing goods for consumers. You can quote big quotas of gunpowder and steel manufactured in those years, but it's wasted on war, and REAL PEOPLE have a drastic lowering in their standard of living and wages. Not to mention all kinds of rationing. It doesn't matter if the unemployment is 0% in that case. It's not a real number. People were miserable during the supposedly great economy during the war years. Afterwards, the economy absorbs the military with an amazing 3.9%, and that's with the biggest cut in government spending in the nations history. The economy grows by 30% having the best year in the United States history.

Acknowledge the next half of my post. Ending the war lowered unemployment.

[quote name='Dev' timestamp='1364273042' post='246323'] Also, the only thing the war did was decrease unemployment, which helps, but doesnt really "solve" the problem of a depression. [/quote] Sure, lowering your population through war and employing the others to kill foreign nationals **may** lower unemployment. But that doesn't[size=4] solve anything at all.[/size] Also, let it be known that people were calling for massive public works programs after WW2, saying all the soldiers would be unemployed and we would fall into a deeper depression. When the soldiers came home, unemployment actually fell dramatically.

Myth : World War Two, because of increased government spending on the military, ended the great depression and started a huge economic boom in the USA. Truth : During the Great Depression, government spending was steadily increasing without improvement. After the War ended the USA slashed taxes and cut spending by 60%. We liquidated the debt. The economy grew by 30% that year.

[quote name='Dev' timestamp='1364271599' post='246298'] World War 2 was a necessary war for the United States if they wished to stay alive. The Germans were already developing bombers that could fly across the Atlantic, bomb their targets and return to mainland Europe. They were also incredibly close to developing Nuclear Materials, ICBMs, Assault Rifles, Modern Day Jets, etc. Along with that, Japan had a huge army/navy that would've easily invaded if we didn't put up a willing fight in the Pacific/Midway. [/quote] I believe, for the most part, you are right on that.

[quote name='TheOriginal' timestamp='1364271059' post='246285'] Read my edit. [/quote] I did. Are you saying that the USA could have won WW2 without entering it? Or are you implying that i believe so?

That is just, terrible economics. We were starving and didn't have enough food, so the solution was to spend more resources on aerospace to feed us? In fact, the USA dramatically lowered all types of spending to minuscule levels after world war two, and then the economy boomed more than it ever did in the following year, than any other year in its history.

[quote name='TheOriginal' timestamp='1364269508' post='246254'] WWII pulled the world out the Great Depression. [/quote] No, it didn't. Basic economics goes against that myth too.

Can wars be good?
It irks me to no end to see people saying that war is good for the economy. You think destruction makes us wealthier? Basic economics prove you to be dead wrong. If every person in Afghanistan had their car and home windows broken by soldiers, would they be wealthier because they made new jobs as window makers? Obviously not, because the money,resources, and labor going to making windows would have been spent elsewhere if their windows were not broken. And those would have been to productive areas of the economy that consumers CHOOSE. You cant just say the soldiers created 1000 window maker jobs. Sure, maybe they did.. but then they also destroyed 100 bakery jobs, 50 teacher jobs, 150 shoe maker jobs, and the list goes on.

Try recruiting in-game until you get bigger. Most of the people on the forums already have a team or want to be affiliated with long standing teams.
