Can we please keep HN from becoming r/politics? I know it's too late now, but every single post even remotely involving government now turns into a USA IS EVIL type discussion and it's very irrelevant.

The moral consequences of technology are extremely relevant. Technology can be used for both great good and great evil. It seems weird to not want to ever discuss that.

Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down!

Obviously your down-voters don't remember Tom Lehrer's "Wernher Von Braun" lyrics.

Or maybe they have outsourced their worrying to their employers.

I'll take down-votes for quoting Tom any time. We will, after all, all go together when we go...

This is not about the USA in general, this is about military and especially the US military.

If this was about helping the military of my country, I would also find it questionable.

Are you talking to the person who wrote about helping soldiers, or is that not political, and it's just commenting on helping soldiers which is out of line? Because that seems a little one-sided and naive.

Right after I commented it was edited to it's current state. Before it said something more inflammatory like bombing and killing people overseas.

I guess I need to start quoting all of my replies to prevent that.
