We learn History because history tends to repeat itself. If we never learned about Hitler or WWII, we would probably be experiencing a WWIII because we would've never learned how to be the civilized people we are today..

That's sort of what OP is saying. We know that history repeats itself and we should learn from history, but in reality we keep doing the same things. We keep fighting over pointless shit, and it will be that way for the rest of time, most likely.

Superpowers no longer attack other superpowers, that's a pretty big change, also due to the cold war and the realization that a nuclear war is mutually assured destruction we are not currently dropping nukes around. War has changed entirely since WWI&II.

Basically OP is saying that history blessons are not logical because if we keep learning about the past, we can't advance more in the future by use of military goods. I'm just saying that if we learn still about history, then we would develope the sense of learning from our mistakes, thus learning how to talk issues out with other countries and not just shooting eachother aimlessly while trying to get our points across.

I think we've just interpreted this differently... and OP probably doesn't even use this account anymore so we'll never know what they meant.

This post makes me want to cry. Learning about the past is the most interesting thing about the present, in my opinion.

We need weapons for self defense.

From who? Nobody wants to fight, and I'm sure North Korea wants peace just like everyone else. Terrorism will probably stop soon too. /endsarcasm

Of course! Let's throw away all our weapons, or better yet, sell them to others!
