Can someone explain to me: taxes.

Taxes enable the government to pay for things like new roads, sidewalks, education, and provide pensions.

Well, on the bright side everyone knows not to fuck with Merica. But on the flip side all the money is gone to building that army. 

yay $18 trillion in debt and half of the taxes go towards paying contractors that do nothing but kill innocents and corrupt governments instead of education and healthcare

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

I'm not going to dig up information for someone like you.

 

But, have you ever heard of the Holocaust?

Yes I have. Need I point you towards it starting with a war which required a military? now imagine if the nazis never had an army

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

I'm not saying it's a good thing either. I would rather that money be used into something more useful like you said.

You literally cannot stop someone from building weapons. That's why there are security divisions across the world.

yes you can no raw materials = no weapons

no trade = no money = no people to make weapons 

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Okay, but then an army was needed to defeat the Nazi's. I don't approve of murder, but there are things that are needed. Say USA stopped advancing their military.... Other countries would be able to take us over. Just because USA stops advancing their military doesn't mean other countries will follow suit. It must be a joint effort.

They're probably not worth taking over. No assets.

I feel like your hatred towards military is extremely generalized.

 

Not every military action is to kill innocents.

 

You can't blame an entire group of people for some nut jobs.

 

Every group has nut jobs.
