Didn&#x27;t the US drop more bombs on Laos in a secret war than all the bombs dropped in WW2?<p>I do not have the figures but in these &#x27;little wars&#x27; there has been a lot of silver spent on munitions. The whole process is just a lot more efficient so we are not at total war on the domestic front, just paying our taxes so the military can buy vastly more effective killing machines. Things may have gone away from the unguided bombs of times gone past, war zones may be in different places, but otherwise, there is a lot to compare today&#x27;s wars with WW1&#x2F;WW2 when it comes to $$$ spend and devastation caused.
