I find the idea of an army quite archaic. On the other hand I have no idea how much they actually do to keep us safe in our beds at night. So perhaps they are needed for all I know? I wonder how much extra money could be invested in the economy if we didn't have them? Perhaps our taxes would be a bit lower too? I dunno, thoughts, opinions?

But if one country stopped having an army and every other country had one, that would be idiotic.

There will always be a threat out there for a nation.

If not just because anything could cause mass riots and the police wouldn't be able to handle it alone unless there was as many police officers as soldiers...but then the police are just an army anyway What we don't need is constant war, however we need to stop people starting wars. Like if all armies just came home and left countries with terrorists etc to their own devices they'd build up and invade. So if people like that would just stop... Imagine how much better off the world would be. Places like Syria wouldn't be getting bombed, the economy back home wouldn't be paying for it, soldiers could focus on humanitarian work etc But they'd still be needed, if there was ever anything like a viral outbreak, natural disaster or worldwide EMP we'd need armies to keep people under control. And also to do the dirty jobs in that situation like genocide, if everyone was starving because there wasn't enough food for billions of people for the whole race to survive people would need to be killed. Police and civilians aren't really equipped for that kind of thing. They definitely have their place in the world but they shouldn't have to be fighting constantly for stupid reasons like religion.

Considering what's going on in this world, you would probably become a target of terrorism.

Christianity Favourite Manga The Bible	it's archaic because humans have fought wars w/ each other since f* knows when which is still happening today. "Would our countries be just as safe without them?" probably not. the fact that the rest of the world know that the US have overall best army in the world because of the amount of budget their military receives and can pump into technology is probably a big deterrence to any would-be invaders. same w/ the UK and im assuming canada and australia (altho to be fair idk much about theirs so i'm just assuming here) -- our armed forces are small compared to other nations' armies and our technology is behind US technology, but we arguably have the best trained army in the world soldier for soldier even compared to the US, and also arguably the best special forces (british SAS). i mean theyre pretty much the blueprint for every other special forces unit in the world. that and we're an island nation.
