War doesn't produce anything, it just consumes.
Construction <--> Destrucion, get it?

Edit: who pays for you guys? The government. Where do they get their money from? From us civilians.
So WE are paying for you (not that I disagree with that).
So stop griming "oooh without my job I wouldn't have any money!".

PS: No offense, this is just how I think about it. Nothing personal.

Thats not true, War does create huge economical increases, makings jobs from soldiors, to bomb makers, to janitors working in bomb factories. War also forces technology to jump in huge leaps and bounds, sometimes for the better, for example, the V2 rocket, invented by the Germans during WWII, is the base theory for all space fairing vessels used today.

As for Ace's question regarding what I would do, I'd see to it that 1% of the world population doesn't own 90% of its economy.
