      It isn’t a fallacy, it is just to point out that the military is going to use anything that will give them an edge. Whether we civilians use it or not.

        Yeah, but that doesn’t mean we have to like or even approve of them abusing things meant for peaceful purposes.

              A military not doing something to save civilians from war crimes is improper, not what you’re implying.

              Elmo gave up the ability to “misuse” starlink for military purposes when he allowed military to use starlink.

      It’s a very similar problem on a larger scale.

      Starlink isn’t designed to be military but it exists on the free market and can be used for military purposes so it is

      Kitchen knives aren’t designed for stabbing but they’re out there for everyone so people are going to use them for stabbing
