Allocate = take from more productive tasks

Point taken. A lot of people think the military is not a very productive task though.

It is also the most wasteful and one of the biggest polluters.

F the military.

Military based on defense of people and country is fine with me. However, they must not disturb peacetime, which in today's world is to be prevented by criminals via "strategy of Tension" because the real enemies are the government who pander to the well places scum at the top. Many soldiers I have met are great people. It is when a country becomes empire that the military becomes the mafia of the banks and corporations.

True. The military would be nothing without the banks, corporations, AND the deep state and their secret shit.

Not when it's defending another particular country, or just out doing who the hell knows what. But I really was referring to it being taken from those who created the wealth in the first place, the taxpayers. They would have put it to a more productive use than it being used to plant trees.
