That is no reason to look up to them a lot of other people.
A limited, peacetime military is needed perhaps but that does not remove the great dangers of militarism and war with its always accompanying centralisation, authoritarianism and bureaucracy which do so much to endanger Conservative values and society.
That argument reminds me of someone railing about the sins of too much money and citing Bernard Madoff while the audience he's ranting to are sleeping in their cars or worrying about being laid off.
Relatively few here fear the military taking over the government.
Maybe it's different where you live.
