Cloak of Invisibility

As to "we piss it all away," I do not care to be included in your concept of "we." I have higher standards.

Of course you have higher standards. I have higher standards. Alrin has higher standards. That guy over there has higher standards. However, thrown into a survival situation, you will become just as bloodthirsty as any animal to ensure your survival or the survival of ones you love. Then, those "standards" disappear. It's not about right or wrong, it's about life or death. Arms races are the same thing. One nation looks around the world and sees threats everywhere. What does that nation do? Makes itself stronger. The same way you would utilize everything at your disposal to survive, a nation utilizes everything at it's disposal, including new technology, to survive.

Bloodthirsty? Maybe. Wrong? No. Unavoidable? Absolutely.
