An example of this is in World War II, it took 108 B-17s dropping 648 bombs to destroy a target. In the Vietnam War, a similar target required 176 bombs. Now, only a few precision guided missiles can easily accomplish the same task, and do it more precisely (Maine). This shows that advancements in weapons have reduced the amount of weapons needed to be produced and the amount of collateral damage. Also, some of the large budget provided to the Department of Defense (DoD) finds its way back into the market through military personnel spending money at public businesses in the area surrounding the military bases.Advancements in technology are very necessary to continue saving lives and preventing casualties, advancements keep us ahead in a field that is ever changing and that …show more content…
Although Research and Development (R&D) outweighs the rest of the spending by a large margin. This research is what keeps us advanced and at the forefront of military research. Some military research is medical research used to benefit troops and most research is released for public use in hospitals all over the country. An example of the research is concussion management and brain injury research, this type of research is beneficial to the public because it helps anyone who suffers a concussion or brain
