    I repeat, that’s only the big, famous conflicts. Throw in Liberia, Guatamala, The Berlin Blocade and a bunch of other small to medium conflicts and you might hit the full hundred

      Right. I mean it wouldn’t necessarily be good for any economy but i don’t think there is any country that has been at war as the us was the last century. If not by amount of years than surely by amount of enemies. At the same time i don’t think there is a country that has produced and/or sold as many weapons as the us has the past century.
