"Thomas Jefferson first suggested that we not have a standing army, and wrote a series of letters in 1787, as the Constitution was being debated, urging James Madison and others to write it into the Constitution.

The idea was, instead of a standing army, for every able-bodied man in the nation to be a member of a local militia, under local control, with a gun in his house. If the nation was invaded, word would come down to the local level and every man in the country would be the army.

Switzerland managed to stay out of two World Wars, and they're positioned in the center of Europe. I think that says quite a bit.

It gives the elite something to do other than lord it over and pretend to know what they're doing in government.

I am an aerospace engineer. As a personal principle I wouldn't work in a company that makes business related with the military. However every company I have found in the US that has to do with aerospace systems is also in the defense business. This gives you an idea why the US is so fond in wars and creating enemies. I think it is crucial to change the US industry focus from defense and security to science and civilian use.
