That's interesting. Only 75 years ago the UK came oh so close to speaking German, were it not for the military.
Do you believe that human nature has changed in such a short time? I don't. In fact I think there are quite a few Ukrainians (and other Eastern Europeans) right now who can only wish they had a capable military to counteract that little megalomaniac dictator in Russia.
The military doesn't exist solely to "kill beige-coloured people".
