Fundamentally, ALL military forces are trained extremist terrorists (murder machines) and communist (totalitarian socialism without democracy) under a commander in chief to shield and expand tyranny. Try to change my mind.

Militaries are fine for their original purpose, to protect a nation's borders, and to protect it against hostile nations. The problem is when militaries are used to protect a hostile elite from a nation's own people, and serve the interests of a foreign country at the expense of a nation's own people, as is the case in the modern day US.

There is also the danger of diverting too many resources to a military, to the point you are just wasting these resources, militarizing your society, and encouraging foreign military adventures in order to justify this expenditure.

True.

" The problem is when militaries are used to protect a hostile elite from a nation's own people "

Rare when this isn't the case, if any.
