War have given us better lessons

Spent half a day at national museum of US Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. It is fascinating to know that it was 7 miles from this very place is where Wright brothers tried their first flight. It was remarkable and motivating journey of human thrust that keep us flying. 

Much talked topic on every news channels here is on whether US will fight a war against Syria . I spoke with some locals here and they say that what Syria doing is inhuman and the world community should come together to stop it, but what they don't agree is US getting into never ending battle , when there are N number of things to be taken care at home. I think that is why congress is as well divided. 

I heard some one saying, all we need to get united is to find a common enemy  , rather then common interest. Which is true , when we see nations can't come to common agreement on global warming, do come together to fight the war of terror very quickly. Very strange , is it ? 

After seeing world war 1 , 2 and Cold War displays  in the museum, I can't imagine any war in anywhere in the world . There is nothing we can't resolve through dialogue and discussions. Having said that, I also see that human's quest for excellence is often get accreted during war. 

Evaluation of flying machines , drive engines is one such example. War do gave us some remarkable technology and materials. I learnt that use of lean concepts, six sigma were developed during war times. No wonder , we say necessity is mother of all invention . 

But more important question is what we do with these technologies for betterment of our living or saving our planet. Do these lessons learnt from these war translate in development. We take the IC engine or CF6-6 engines and used it for powering a city or a ship, which is good. But can we do more, answer is yes. We should have a separate wing to connect the dots to see what technologies can be taken from defence and use it for betterment of man kind. I don't know whether such department is there in Indian government. 

Getting a bill for pension, food security or right for education do take very long time, some time 10 years. But when a nation security or defence development fund or bill  sees a faster approval. We need to use this defence development route to get more innovation and in turn use the result of such to the development of country. 

We don't need to flight a is war,  but getting ready for a war drives this defence development. This Cold War out there between countries keep the fund flowing. We can't stop it, but we can utilise it for better reason.  At least I believe these war thought us to be better human. 

Serious topic ha ? Getting to Orlando to have some fun !!
