      If you’re an engineer working for the military industrial complex they don’t really care who you are so long as your soul has that price tag. And I know a decent portion of the people doing it feel guilty and try to mentally minimize the damage it does.

            No, because that one is going to get replaced with a new one burning the same amount of fuel. So basically flying one plane for 20 years is better than 2 planes over 20 years where one of them went to junk early.

    I don’t think that’s actually real.

    Also a fun fact: Sea Sparrows are some of the missiles used in Ukraine for air defense right now. They’re launching then from Soviet land-based anti-aircraft vehicles somehow.

        Thought it was a European sparrow rather than a north American.

        Little faster due to a lower unladen weight.

            All I’m saying is, it’s not a matter of fuel efficiency, it’s a simple matter of weight ratios. A one ton missile cannot be manufactured and deployed without a comparably sized carbon footprint.

              Both Hiroshima and Nagasaki are thriving cities today.

              That contradicts the whole point that a nuke will destroy humans but leave the environment intact. A bomb of any kind destroys ecosystems. If humans reclaim the cities, it’s not a “net positive” for the environment, despite the cynicism that’s in the statement.

              “Land back” is a much better approach since land under indigenous jurisdiction has much more biodiversity than average and especially than bombed land.

      It’s a meme insofar as the definition of

      an element of a culture or system of behavior passed from one individual to another by imitation or other nongenetic means.

      Information is one of the elements. This is information and it is being passed around by non genetic means.
