Preparing for war makes a lot of sense to me. If that's not what they're doing, what are we paying them for? Cosplay?

  War against who? We have regular military drills, but you don't "prepare for war" unless there's a target. That has a specific meaning. >what are we paying them for? Cosplay? Peacekeeping, international relations,fortification, technological advancement. We called if "Defense" for a reason.

      >If I'm reading you correctly you're saying "regular military drills" ≠ "preparing for war". In the same way that going to your everyday job ≠ "preparing for retirement", no. That's only correct in the most semantic sense. It otherwise has a very strong connotation about near term plans. >This is one of those stupid leftist arguments that only works when the leftist proponent has changed several of the key underlying definitions. Well, I appreciate it when someone makes it clear they don't want to engage in a conversation.
