We have a lot of passive, active and a combination of the two supporters of militarism and war. Please post the good things about militarism and war. Thanks.
I believe that there are some people who are called neo-cons, who support war because it helps keep people employed, makes a lot of money for the owners of these industries, and reminds other nations who is the No. 1 country in this world.
In the 1930s, there was an Army officer who gained a bit of notoriety by claiming that he finally realized that American troops were in Central America to protect American economic interests, not to advance the welfare of the people there. (Today many of those ordinary people are now here in the United States.)

That depends on how you define "good". Wars can be good for certain people who profit from them. But they aren't inherently "good" overall. War is inherently "bad" in the sense that it inevitably causes death and destruction.We have a lot of passive, active and a combination of the two supporters of militarism and war.

False dichotomy/straw man combo! 20 points. Well done.We have a lot of passive, active and a combination of the two supporters of militarism and war. Please post the good things about militarism and war. Thanks.

We don’t think war is good. We think sometimes a person like Vladmir Putin sends soldiers to shoot people and the only way to make them stop is to shoot back until they die or leave.Can you please show how that is so? Thanks.

Neither war nor miltarism are good. Unfortunately, they are often better than any viable alternative.

I would but it's pointless. You're living in a dream world and I'm talking realpolitik.Please, do tell.
Antiwar:
They, war and militarism, are not good, but sometimes war or proxy-war is necessary to forestall or prevent a greater evil from befalling states or blocs. Militarism is never needed nor acceptable in my opinion, however.
Cheers and stay alive.

Antiwar:I think we need to dissect your comment.
1. War is necessary but militarism is never needed nor acceptable.
Re 1: How is war not militarism?
Antiwar:I'm living in a militarized nightmare of a world.
Antiwar:
Militarism is the desire to use military force in wars of choice in order to advance national interests. Not all wars are wars of choice. Some wars are imposed upon states by the actions of other states. These are wars of necessity and are sometimes necessary. The Russian Federation invading Ukraine in 2014 and in continuation in 2022 or the State of Israel defending itself against Arab invasion in the 1973 Yom Kippur War are two such examples of wars of necessity.
Wars of necessity are not militarism on the behalf of the defending state which was attacked. The militarism comes from the attacker who initiates their war of choice.
Cheers and stay alive.

Antiwar:
Then get off your computer and get involved to change that nightmare. Those who show up help make the important decisions. So get involved and show up.
Be well and survive.
