I'm amazed that someone actually thought about making that graph.. But it does tend to support the argument that the demand created by military spending, both prior to WWII, and now, are frightening parallels. I truly hope that our political leaders are not leaning toward the idea of military conflict as a way out. But it's the Chinese that I might worry about more. They have a surplus of young men that they might not want to have to take care up in retirement. I know.. it's sounds too conspiratorial. But don't put anything past the power elite in their respective countries. Hawk
