8. The purpose of a military is for personal security and to defend and/or obtain property rights.

It's amazing how big a military we have.

We have a lot of property rights to defend.

We have a lot of property still to obtain.
Was Iraqi oil one of the reasons we had the Iraq war?

Who are we afraid of? What are we afraid of? Why are we so afraid?
