How come we can't have a strong military for defense only? I am good with having a formidable military..for defense only. The two are mutually exclusive. It is very possible to have unparalleled military might and peace at the same time.

Not unless there is big, big money behind each robot.
And in that case, the cheap robots will swarm and kill them.
There's no way to beat the math. The nation whose MIC is owned by its government will beat the nation whose government is owned by its MIC, every **** time.

Dec.7th, 1941. Pearl Harbor, HI.
WE as a nation were in an ISOLATIONIST POSTURE and lost bigly for nearly a year. WE only had ~600,000 men in uniform at that time. Had the BATTLE OF MIDWAY been a success by the Japanese, there is a good chance we would have capitulated to their demands and lost the war totally.
Be a **** IDIOT if you want, but taking the lead often means taking it to your enemy first, MORON!!

Did I miss something, was Iran able to launch a nuke?

We own the military, right? The military does our bidding.
