This is very ignorant of history and modern times. There have been militaries throughout human history that are formed and used for good purpose.
As it currently stands, almost any military that is NOT doing good for the last 70 years is either the U.S. military or one of their delegated proxy forces.
If you wanted to say every EMPIRE that ever existed destroyed innocent lives, then yes, you would be correct, but the only empire that has existed in the last 70 years is the U.S. Empire.
Wouldn't France be considered an empire?
It's subservient to the US. Like provinces were to Ancient Rome. More complicated and technical, perhaps. But it's all one empire.
Everything you said is wrong.
very compelling and insightful argument
How so?
So, armies that arose to defensively stop, say, the Nazis, they were just as bad as the Nazis then?
What is an army or empire that has done wicked things in the last 70 years that is not the US or a US proxy?
