[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 3924227, member: 42584"] New offensive/defensive military systems, or upgrades to older military systems, MUST be tested in real-world battlefield conditions, as opposed to the more typical 'controlled' testing done by the manufacturers themselves, in order to ensure that their new creations are actually 'war viable'. To accomplish this arms manufacturers spend huge amounts of money in order to convince our politicians that occasional 'proxy wars' are needed to test these 'new systems', or upgrades to older systems, and that such testing is necessary for the security of our own country. Of course being able to supply 'battlefield quantities' worth of arms and equipment does not hurt the bottom-line of these manufacturers, and is another reason 'proxy wars' are advocated for [B]every few years[/B].
