One of the stated missions/purposes of our military is to prevent war, I've recently learned
And that's why God is all about peace.

I have been fairly hard on the military, saying I hate them, so all apologies
But seriously, can't we just -as a planet- agree to cease having militaries?
Why not disarm everybody?
Is this really so foreign to human nature?
Can't we all just get along?
maybe not, but I still think we should just treat all violence as crime, to be dealt with by a world police force. And all violence should be in the form of boxing/martial arts/wrestling (BMW), without weapons and with an agreed upon set of rules.
Actually, upon second thought, that would put a lot of people at a disadvantage to the martial artists. Guns are the great equalizer. I want to say everyone should own a gun, but that doesn't seem right, either. I guess the laws we have make the best of the situation; I dunno.
peace, out -J
