War Costs,Downfalls, and My Thoughts

War, the destroyer of personal worlds and the world as a whole. War is a major problem, whether it be over territory, resources, etc. War costs lives, money, valuable resources, and much more that could all be used to make the lives of the masses a better place. Here are some of the costs globally to Military expenditures globally.

• World military expenditure in 2010 is estimated to have reached $1.62 trillion in current dollars;
• The USA with its massive spending budget, is the principal determinant of the current world trend, and its military expenditure now accounts for just under half of the world total, at 44% of the world total;
• The 15 countries with the highest spending account for over 82% of the total;
• The USA is responsible for 43 percent of the world total, distantly followed by the China (7.4% of world share), UK (3.6%), France (3.5%), and Russia (3.5%):

Think of all the good we could do world-wide with just the money spent on War. The changes would be drastic. War is unnecessary in my eyes. The costs are too steep, not just in capital but in human lives. My thoughts on this matter are end war. Root out hostility and breed compatibility and hospitality. It may be a fool's dream to ask for World peace but the amount of capital and human lives it takes for War is ridiculous. These are my Thoughts on the matter take them how you will but I see how sad this is.
