yes.

I was having this weird conversation on facebook wall with a weird
person/acquaintance. He was saying that these wars were different than
all wars before because the US NEEDS to protect so much (like advanced
technologies) from the rest of the world getting them. How is this
different from any war???? Aren't all wars about protecting
possessions?

Isn't that why we build fences? To keep our belongings safe.

You can't hug another person while you are hugging your belongings.
Your arms are already full. [my simplified version of Giovanni
