A very fine sentiment to have while you live in safety under the umbrella of the most powerful military the world has ever known. However, consider the defence startup scene in Ukraine right now, for example. They are truly about moving fast and breaking things in an effort to protect their country from annexation, assimilation and (for those who don't go along) genocide.
So, ironically, only when these weapons are there and have done their job do people appear, safe from birth till adulthood in their peaceful affluent little suburbs, who issue blanket condemnations of the defence industry as evil horrible people who produce weapons for the express purpose of "terrorizing people all over the planet for cash".
