Look, I don't
like militaries in general, and I really don't like all the crap that comes with them here in America (eg. the military-industrial complex).
But again, going to extremes on either side (ie. throwing the proverbial baby out with the bathwater) is not the answer: it's not "let's have a military dictatorship" or "let's just hold hands and send the Russians good thoughts so they don't nuke us".
It should be (IMHO) "let's have a strong, well run and well-regulated military, with a strong system of civilian governance overseeing it".
