If he was Polish he wouldn't have to invent these. In the Polish language "weapon" is "broń" which has the same root as "bronić", meaning "to defend, to prevent". But wait! It goes deeper! "To arm" is "zbroić" which has the same root as "zbroja", meaning "an armor". But does that mean we're all pacifist? Heck no ;) That's one of the reasons that in my very humble opinion Fuller was wrong, or at least criminally simplistic.

That's a rather broad opinion, considering Fuller said many things. So wrong about what?
