| Kasz216 said: That's not actually true. There are plenty of defensive only armies. Though with military technology to be defensive you NEED to be offensive. Otherwise there is no way to stop things like Missles. Armies very much are the will of the people. Unpopular wars pretty much don't happen. Wars only become unpopular once the people who supported them realized they were fools for wanting them in the first place. |
See, that's just the thing. People wouldn't really ever want war, if political leaders didn't manipulate them into thinking that they do. Look at Iraq for example. People were definately decieved into agreeing with that, and your Governemnt didn't hesitate to use 9/11 as a pretext for it.
Also, I don't remember ever hearing of a country holding a referendum to see whether people think a war should take place or not.
