Most countries have a standing military paid for by the populace of each country, they are told they pay for their defence, yet our militaries attack others, when did defence become attack ?
What one has to do, is look why a standing militia was created, right from the start, what was the reason for it's formation, I know for instance the UK navy was created to protect and further trade, so in that instance what our navy does for merchants, is true to their design. As to the army, well historically they did what the ruler told them to do, and they were used in empire building, the conquering of other countries to enrich the ruler, so that being the term defence should be scratched from the reason for taxation, for it is clear only merchants should be paying for a tool that helps them, for armed forces are there for wealth creation not defence, although that is the final job they can do, for the attackers will defend if forced into that situation.
In this present situation, our armed forces are doing exactly what they were created to do, defence does not come into it, for they are smoothing the way for the merchants to do business.
Perhaps what is wrong about the funding of the standing militia, is that the populace should not be paying for it, as what merchants do in seeking and securing markets via the military tool, is creating threat for the populace, but then what is the populace beyond inhabitants of a country, for surely they are the dumb cash cow that keeps on paying for their world to be threatened, and of course the pool from which the military grunt is drawn from to do the merchants bidding.
