To be fair the b1 lancer is pretty fascinating, most military equipment is pretty neat honestly. The use of it is the problematic part.

Its fascinating in the same way that a medieval torture device is fascinating

So we agree. Things can be neat and still have horrible purpose.

Better to put them on show than put them to use, but also yes there’s something vulgar in celebrating weapons.

Fine weapons of war augur evil.
Even things seem to hate them.
Therefore, a man of Tao does not set his heart upon them.

What another has taught let me repeat:
“A man of violence will come to a violent end.”
Whoever said this can be my teacher and my father.
