3. It is ALL for $$$$$, military industrial complext sucks up our tax money

5. Most the time yes

Occasionally we think we're doing it for right reason, but this Sting line kind of sums it up:

... I never saw no miracle of science
that didn't go from a blessing to a curse
I never saw no military solution
that didn't always end up as something worse...
