10. I've always felt that
the military should focus more of their training on civilian support in times of chaos, rather "kill mentality."
Problem is, thats not profitable for munitions manufacturers and not as glamorous for the gun toting redneck types.
I would far rather my taxes contribute to catastrophe recovery rather than intentional destruction and to line the pockets of select warmongers.
