I despise anyone who becomes a soldier of their own free will. The moment you enlist, you accept that you will be obliged to kill, and that you will have no control over whether that killing will be justified.

I wonder what would happen if we didn’t have a military at all

We wouldn’t see images like the Iranian girl’s rucksack smeared with blood.

because we wouldn’t have the internet. the US military contributed significantly to the development of today’s internet.

Would we have the Autobahn if Hitler hadn’t built it?

probably with some time delay, the germans love a good race (/s)

apart from that, the military did some significant research into a lot of technology, including airplanes (and rockets), internet, nuclear energy.

You failed to get the point I was making. Just because the military is a driving factor to technological progress, doesn’t mean it’s a good thing all of a sudden. And all that progress could also have been made by science. Wernher von Braun didn’t care who funded his research into rockets.
