    I’m very curious as to what your suggested course of action would be if you were to “cut the military budget to 0”, and then another nation with a strong military uses their military to abuse or murder the citizens of your nation because they disagree with your nation in some way…

      You don’t need military budget to defend yourself. Governments need military budget to gain power and attack others.

        Sorry: I’d mistaken you for a person using considered-reasoning.

        Ideology doesn’t reason.

        Its symbols are comforting substitutes for reason, & they’re enough, for it, right?
