To me, that's the question. And people don't realize a lot of who we are and where we are is because our military presence. Atomic bomb anyone?
What gets me now, is how much the US economy and focus is on death and violence. Offensive death and violence. We're bombing people all over the Middle East. And have been for years. Tangentially, I find 'March for our Lives' ironic given the amount of, to me, unjustified, violence and death the US country exports to children and families around the world.
For self-defense only? In an ideal world, yea, invent the meanest things possible. That philosophy still is compatible with a strong military. But then again you have Gulf of Tonkin, etc., so who knows!?
Lately I've been telling myself this whole wargame is a game I'll never be privy to what's actually happening.
