I'm against war and against foreign countries getting the technology to attack the US, like the plans for the lafayette class submarine given to the French, then them giving it to the USSR, or that the screws for submarines are made in china now because we cant. Or selling arms to middle east countries.
I'm glad you feel you have an answer for all this, but in the end you haven't a fucking clue as to the damage that can be done by this

Well, forums are made for "quick judgements", aren't they? LOL If you feel that way, being against war and such, then I apologize for my comments. Lumping every ex-Military man in with all the gung-ho kill freaks this current Armed Forces seem to attract is always a bad thing, so again: apologies.
Having said the above - uh oh - half my family is Military. My dad was a Marine, four Uncles were also, etc etc. I have family in both Iraq and Asshat-istan. So I do see both sides, and here's what I know Vendzilla:
True, I don't want nations, rogue or otherwise, having the capacity to destroy using our stolen/traded for technology. Being a realist, while I wish THIS country (USA) didn't have such capabilities either I understand the horse has left the barn, or whatever. So we're stuck in this crazed world, where every country is shuffling their chess pieces, rattling their sabers, keeping the Military Industrial Complexes alive and kicking while....keeping their made-up wars in far-off little forgotten corners of the Globe. Better to make profit that way while keeping the populations of the civilized world busy/distracted with their little greed games.
It ALL sucks V.
