Soĺ Cal fires

First let me start by saying my heart goes out to anyone dealing with wildfire. I come from three generations of oregonians so I understand the tragedy probably better than most. It just makes me wonder why we spend billions of dollars creating bombs and huge militaries then totally get our asses kicked by wildfire that basically destroys everything in its path. And leave others to pick up the pieces of other natural disasters I could go on and on but I won't.
