I don't really object per se to the existence of a military, although I dislike the reality of nation-state militaries, arms races, wars etc. I'd prefer a lot a more international and democratic control of the actions of any military force. I definitely don't agree that we should support the idea that governments are free to declare war on people for reasons they can't or won't reveal to the people they're supposedly representing.

Although it does all seem to cause negative consequences. For instance wasn't the US blowing 2 billion a week on Iraq or something daft? I can't remember where I read/heard it.
