In a perfect world there would be no need for military. However, we don't live in a perfect world. I am writing this post to thank our military (Memorial Day) for their service in the past, present, and future. I don't like fighting, nor wish for fighting, but my words below should convey why I appreciate the fact that we do have a military.
On the smaller scale, I was thinking of the conflict even within many households--within the family structure, the conflict in the neighborhoods and the many disputes we hear of among neighbors, the conflict even in the various religious, even in individual churches (congregation/
Conflict among various religions/other denominations/belief (because they differ in some ways and those that may not be religious at all. So, they fuss and fight.
Then, we have the conflicts among worker and workers/employee and bosses/home office/district office/main office. Of course we can't leave out the conflict among politicians, within the party and certainly with 'other party'.
When we consider if all those smaller units, most of them fuss and fight--well, we just know--conflict and fighting is going to happen on the larger scale, too. Among countries as it always has, does, and will. We are dealing with humans. I think even the cave men fussed and fought and banged each other with their clubs.
Every country has a military. When you think of it realistically with human nature, I think they always will have a military. And for good reason.
Oh, well--just my thoughts. Reminds me of King Solomon saying--there is nothing new under the sun and more or less whatever has been will be, is, and will be again. My opinion, just saying.

Below is the book I found Solomon's words. If you are not religious you might consider this as observation by a great philosopher.
Ecclesiastes 1:9-11
9 The
thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done
is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
11 There
is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any
remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.
Thank you for taking time to read my blog post.
