"degeneracy and malignancy"? Can you unpack that into some slightly less 19-th century English please?

A 19th-century mindset can't really be unpacked into 21st-century words.

Any evidence for this?

Uhm, no. For example, Liechtenstein, Palau, and Vatican City do not have a military and they do not seem to be "rife with degeneracy and malignacy" - well perhaps Vatican City, but not the other two.

The military serves an important function in society and personally I think it deserves far more recognition than profit-seeking hounds with low moral standards (ie: the scum referenced in the article).
