Why is it so important to be up to date with modern technology in warfare ? I'd much rather see they improve healthcare and education and social security. Shouldn't that be everyone's top priority instead of inventing newer and deadlier weapons at every turn ?
Just be glad that Europe fell behind in that category, you have all seen to what it leads if a European nation feels it has superior firepower over the rest. The world wouldn't be safe if certain European nations had the same power as the US, i'm pretty sure of that.
