It is out of respect to those that have to fight the wars that those that are not on the front lines should do everything to prevent it from breaking out in the first place. I agree that there are difficulties in developing arms in peace times, war can be a driver of innovation. But it is not the only one and there are preferable alternatives, even if arms suppliers see that differently out of egoistic ambitions. A civilian population rejecting involvement in arms manufacture is preferable to one that calls for a war.
