We benefit greatly from war. Innovation and the advancement of technology. Humans thrive from war, it's in our nature.

You can thank the Nazis for a lot of advancements in aircraft and space technologies.

Yup, without our research the launch of any kind of rocket would have been delayed by at least 20-30 yrs. Maybe even more. A feat to be proud of, unlike the means by which it was achieved :(

Didn't they use a bunch of PS3s hooked up together for medical research and the military using xbox controllers for drones?  Video games have become weaponized!

Yes, the US army hooked Xbox360 gamepads to various drones. Apparently it significantly reduced the time it took them to teach new recruits the basic controls of the drones (afaik you still need the big controller for certain advanced functions). That's pretty awesome (and actually a bit scary D:)
