    Some military devices help prevent conflict and minimize its harm. A lot of modern warfare is increasing situational awareness. For example, radar, night vision, surveillance, reconnaissance, electronic warfare, tactical communications, and signals intelligence. Of course, these technologies can be used in a way that harms as well. But the alternative is a blind slugfest that probably harms a lot more civilians and friendly fire.

      Ah yes. Bigger, better, more deadly weapons will definitely help reduce deaths.

      It’s all just lining the pockets of weapons manufacturers.
