| Message | I don't see why we have any reason to pour resources that could be used in education or infrastructure into defense? We are surrounded by nations that could be considered our allies, we're in multiple international organizations with these nations. The only scenario in which we'd need to expand our military was if we suddenly withdrew from all those international organizations and started despotically violating our citizen's human rights.
