In absolute terms she is right
there are some forms of employment we are all better off without.
In my view, military employment is one of them. Working in a cigarette factory would be another.
To suggest that
Economic development in my own neck of the woods - Easter Ross - has been severely blighted by the daily sorties Lossiemouth-based aircraft make to Tain Bombing Range.
Is quite wrong. There is a vocal group at Tain that want to expand a caravan site on the approach path to Tain but equally there are others who owe their jobs to Tain, not just on the range buy tourists who gain pleasure from watching the activity.
Yes, it would be a better world if we had no military forces anywhere, if everyone got on with their neighbours, if there was no poverty of any sort to cause jealousy, and as Neil said, this ain't on Planet Earth.
