Peace sucks, there are no weapons

t
I was just browsing, when I read this Wikipedia article on nuclear ramjets and SLAM. The only weapon mankind hesitated to create (although the U.S. at least built two engines for testing – it worked). I read about this thing and thought: Woooaaah! Awesome! Got super-excited.

Just imagine: a giant rocket is flying only 200 meters above your head with a deafening ROOOOOAAAAARRR. The blast itself would kill you. You´re not even the target, just some poor little tadpole that happens to be in the way. But the most I got amazed by the fact, that this weapon is really a dirty thing. It constantly contaminates everything beneath with radioactive particles – heavily. When lost track, these missiles were supposed to circle over enemy territory until they come down. Just to increase its effect, its lethalaty.

This really is a bad-ass weapon. And it´s a great piece of technology also. I like weapons. Weapons rock. War is cool. A bummer that we didn´t have a decent one in ages. All this guerilla bullshit, all this super-secret, hidden elite troop warfare, it sucks.

War is supposed to be loud. With gunfire, and dirt and playing in the mud. One gets a lot of fresh air during a good, old-fashioned war. So, war is healthy in a way.

Maybe men are just hunters in business-suits. Women don´t seem to understand our fascination about weapons, neither do we understand this thing with shoes. Gathering stuff.

Maybe we are just hunters. And when any other prey failed to defy us, we decided to bring down the most ruthless, most intelligent beast that ever occurred to develop such a fine thing as a nuclear ramjet.

"Think about all the wisdom and science and money and civilization it took to build these machines. And the courage, of all the men that came here and the love of their wives and children that´s in their hearts. And all that hate, dog, all that hate it took to blow these motherfuckers away. It´s destiny, dog! White man´s gotta rule the world."
