| What do you expect? If your neighbor had gun, you properly want it too. Specially when he don't like your dog and you don't like hes garden. But it's not meaning you two will actually going to kill each other, the gun here is just a counter weight. The current relation model between nations made nobody fully trust each others. So nobody wants to drop their military, unless everybody do it at same time (Which is impossible). It's sad that we still had to maintain that amount of military power and feed them with tax payer's money. If we use those money else where, we properly typing on mars now. But it's the world we live in now, there is no other choose but get use to it. One day in the future, we may reach a higher level of globe society that could maintain itself without any military force. And, that's why everybody should keep pushing the society go forward. But until we reached that point, everybody will continue upgrading their military, and rely on it to ensure their own safety. |
