Clearing vegetation during the Vietnam War - video

War is such a waste of everything.

yes while war may be considered a waste of everything by many. If not for the many wars through out history many of the technologies we take for granted and possibly use everyday might not even exist.
The biggest waste of war though is allowing them to drag on and on and on. causing not only a high cost of human life and suffering but a huge drain on natural resources, as well as economic turmoil. When war appears to be inevitable coalitions need to be formed with an ironclad resolve to end it as quickly as possible leaving nothing left on the table. Politics and personal agendas have no place in wars Lady Bird Johnson's Rubber plantation should never have been a part of the protected just like the CIA backed opium production in Viet Nam. the same goes for the all too long lasting Afghanistan war scorch the Poppy fields from one end to the other then all of the big players will cry Uncle once they are gone
