I never said it was a lollipop guild. I was pushing back against the implication that "in the military = killing people", as if it is a rite of passage or something. And no, the military actually isn't about killing people, it is merely about the threat of being able to kill people. Probably the best military in the world would be one so powerful that no one would even try to battle it.
- OkayPhysicist 3y agoThe purpose of a country having a military is about the threat of killing people. The purpose the military itself is killing people. The military doesn't threaten, it is the threat. The same way I own a gun to defend myself, but the intrinsic purpose of the gun itself is to kill.
