Re: Have they thought it through?
"The primary purpose of the military is not, actually, to kill people. It is to stop people from killing (hurting, stealing from, etc.) you. Note for example, the justification for the US military in the Constitution: "to provide for the common defense"."
Ministry of peace = war
Ministry of plenty = famine
Ministry of love = torture
" ministry of defence " is a figleaf. US certainly wasn't /isn't defending itself in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen etc.
