The video is entirely logical; thus, most Americans won't understand it. Once long ago, one of my classes took the cost of a war machine, the M1 Abrams tank, and had to find ways to use the money to help as many people as possible. Some parents complained to the principal, characterizing the project and me as some kind of "'communist."
