[quote:Anonymous Coward 75611036:MV8zNzkxMTAwXzY4MDIwMzQ0X0VGMzQ2MUE=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 76360017:MV8zNzkxMTAwXzY4MDE5NzcyX0YxMUMyRDZB] You got it all wrong. You build your military so you can siphon tax payer dollars into military contracts given to your friends. Then you ask your rich politician friends in "enemy" countries to do the same with their tax payer's money, and you agree to threaten each other once in a while to justify your ever increasing military budget to the people you are basically stealing from. And if you're really on a roll, you can invade countries that are no match for your military and plunder their resources on the pretext that they harbor terrorists or WMD's, but only after conducting an effective psyops operation. That's why you build up your military. You're welcome. [/quote] :spock: [/quote]

You build up your military in the hopes that you'll never have to really use it.
Same with martial arts and hand to hand combat. You get good at it so you can defend yourself and your loved ones, not so you can attack people.
It's about security.
To have true safety you must be comfortable with and knowledgeable in violence and conflict.
