Like your son, I’m sure many children think we should get rid of military forces. That idea is very naive.
You still fail to address my main point. Human history is one of warfare. Did you read the link?
I have no desire to use any of our weapons, nuclear bombs included. It is foolish not to engage in the deterrence of having them.
Do you think we should get rid of our police force? They are forced to kill people now and again. A lot of money goes to their support. The police force has a domestic role that can be compared to the military’s global role. The police are a deterrent to crime and they step in to act, sometimes very violently, when the populace is in danger.
Once again, please address the thousands of years of human history that are rife with warfare. You go to great lengths to research the historical movements of housing and the stock markets as a way to predict the future yet you completely turn your back on a monumental amount of evidence that those people who are not ready to protect what they have, stand to lose it.
