How much does the US economy rely on military combat...?

Question

...would the US economy collapse after a certain number of years at peace?

Answer 1

.. i think the US economy is already in dire straits and has been for some time ... the banking system in this country is corrupt and does not work and its being propped up by conflict ... thats what i think ... and i do think that at peace it would collapse faster but its doomed anyway unless some things change ...

Answer 2

If it was not for weapons sales by the highly industrialized countries to Middle eastern, second and third world countries their would be a lot less death and a lot less profit. Just imagine, none of the African Countries the South or central American countries, the Middle Eastern countries, produce their own small arms, canon, their own tanks or their own aircraft their own rockets or even their own bullets. If there is any effort being made to weaponize in those countries its to produce a nuclear device which takes a lot less industrialization and carries a lot more clout. I have to assume that the US, Britain, France, Russia, and China, and North Korea make it to easy to get any array of arms so why not skip the small stuff and go for the N-bomb.

Answer 3

The US economy may collapse due to outsourcing all the Manufactuing and Technology jobs.....The military does play a big part in economics, at peace or war

Answer 4

The only way our economy relies on the military is the military's role in providing protection and stability.

Answer 5

non. combat does not create wealth or jobs, but it does destroy things.
