They valued warfare higher.


As someone who has "been there, done that" I can assure you that nobody values
warfare except arms vendors.

Warfare is perceived (rightly or wrongly) as a method to OBTAIN some thing or
some result of value.

JFK needed something that looked good to
counter his critics about the Bay of Pigs and
the Cuban missile crisis.

"Been there, done that, got the medals both times". The only critics of the
results of the "Cuban missile crisis" wore poorly fitting suits and drank lots
of vodka.
