Imagine how different the world would be if billionaires competed to solve problems instead of competing to become richer. What a world that would be!

    I had this vision of the military. Imagine a natural disaster like a tsunami is about to strike the Middle East. Here comes the carrier force and they start launching what looks like tomahawk missiles. Instead of blowing people up on the ground they open up in air and drop rafts and life preservers. The military has shown up to save countless people instead of murdering them.

    Yes, along those lines only the major force(Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, etc.) would be like a nation wide coast/national guard that goes around helping nations out in times of disasters. In-between disasters they could act like a worldwide corp of engineers improving areas that need it.
