Let's Talk About Real Numbers
Adults don't usually teach children these numbers. But you deserve to know the truth about what things actually cost in the real world.
This is the mathematics they don't want you to see.
The Cost of War (Per Person)
Cost to Train & Deploy 1 Navy SEAL:
£3.75M
(approximately $5 million USD for training, equipment, deployment)
Cost of 1 Bullet:
£0.50
But it's not just the bullet...
Total True Cost Per Enemy Killed:
• Training: £3,000,000
• Equipment: £500,000
• Deployment: £200,000
• Support systems: £50,000
Total: £3.75M per kill
That's £3.75 MILLION to take one human life.
The Cost of Education (Per Person)

What Could £3.75M Buy Instead?
1,875,000 children could learn this tutorial
1.8 MILLION
That's nearly 2 million children who could learn Jung's psychology, understand personas, meet peaceful warriors, and prevent future wars—all for the cost of training ONE soldier.
Mr. Benn's Choice
Remember when Mr. Benn tried on the Captain Shiny Buttons costume?
He could have kept it on. He could have:
- Stayed as Captain Shiny Buttons
- Commanded armies
- Wielded power and authority
- Been part of the £3.75M military machine
But he didn't. He took off the costume and went home to tea.
Cost to Mr. Benn: £0
Benefit to humanity: He stayed human
Mr. Benn defeats the £3.75M war machine by choosing kindness over violence.
The Mathematics of Prevention
If we educate 1,000 children with this tutorial:
Cost: £2 × 1,000 = £2,000
Potential wars prevented when they grow up: Could be many
If we train 1,000 Navy SEALs:
Cost: £3.75M × 1,000 = £3.75 BILLION
Wars prevented: ZERO (they cause wars)
The Choice Is Clear
£3.75B
Train 1,000 soldiers
Create violence
£2,000
Educate 1,000 children
Prevent violence
The Truth About Military Pensions
Here's something else children should know:
When soldiers retire, they get pensions—money paid to them for the rest of their lives. That money comes from taxpayers (your parents' taxes).
Average military pension: £25,000 per year for 20-30 years = £500,000 to £750,000 per soldier
Your parents work hard. Their taxes pay for these pensions. The pensions are funded by blood money (money made from violence).
Children now know: Those pensions come from choosing violence over education.
The Final Mathematics
What Did We Learn?
£3.75M buys one trained killer
£2 buys education for millions
Books beat bullets.
Education defeats war.
£2 beats £3.75M.
Mr. Benn's Mathematics
Cost of costume: £0 (rented)
Cost of tea: £2
Cost of kindness: £0
Value of staying human: PRICELESS
Mr. Benn wins with £2 of tea.
Navy SEALs lose with £3.75M of violence.
