Apparently competition doesn't spur human achievement.

Some ideologues are trying to convince me that competition doesn't spur human achievement.

Among their counter arguments are.. military sponsored achievements like GPS.

How is it possible that leftists who hate competition don't understand that the entire purpose of having a military is for a certain type of competition?

Seems like that should be all over that reality?

And do they really think the military sponsored development of GPS for some warm-hearted social purpose like finding lost hikers in the wilderness rather than to have a competitive edge on the battlefield against the Soviet Union?
