I'm not really going to argue with you. I don't think the US has fought a necessary/at-least-partly-justifiable war since WWII.

That being said, the military definitely *is* necessary to an extent. What would you say if we were being actively invaded? (To be clear, we're NOT, though you wouldn't know by listening to some right-wing extremists. But if we were? I think having a standing militia for defense is a good thing for any nation.)

I understand that a military, for any given country, is necessary -- but only because other countries have them. It is a stalemate. If nobody had an army, nobody would need one; but none can be the first to lay down arms.

I do differentiate between the ideal and the practical, and I understand that military action on one side is necessary to counteract it from the other side. But war is not a matter of right and wrong; it is a matter of wrong and wrong.

I hope that made sense, because I've been up too long and am now going to sleep. Thank you for the discussion. I do like discussion.

The sad truth is that evil exists. I'd love to live in a world where nobody needed to arm themselves ever for any reason, but...this world will never be like that. It would be foolish for anyone to let their guard down completely and also, imo, irresponsible.
