On a Million Dead Bodies

War taught of the need for nutrition and good health, and so Penicillin was first used on mass scale, tin food was too, like never before, that pill when you’re ill distributed through war. Wellington Boots were first used with army suits, when invaders wanted Greek ground democracy was found. Those chemical compounds taught of nuclear doom, while v2 rockets put man on the moon, engines on planes were made safer, now airplanes fly in lanes tracked on radar. This website you’re on and the E-mails you get, be sure you know, war made the internet, talking of war that’s what walkie talkies were first for, war gives us advanced things we only dreamt of before. And I stress, without war we'd know less, but the best lesson of them all, is, don’t go to war.

Funny how war keeps pushing societies to "advance"... but never advancing to the point of peace! Very thought-provoking write! ;)
