In this context, would you oppose the idea of a country having a military?

I'm not sure what you are getting at, in my country the main areas of operation for the military are helping flood victims and providing drinking water after natural disasters ... so no, those are good things.

If you are asking me, if I think there is such a thing as a "just war": I don't know. I have read Saint Augustine[0] on this topic and am not convinced. I have not personally reached a conclusion on this matter.

You don't need guns to hand out drinking water, so if that's what your conception of "military" is, maybe you need to look outside your country a bit.
