Militaristic thinking can only result in more and more war.
If you want peace, stop thinking militarily.
Stop speaking in militaristic language and imagery.
Militarism inevitably results in war, it will never bring peace.
And never lose sight of the simple blatant fact that war is in the bloody self-interest of the militarists. While they look you in the eye and swear their only interest is in preserving peace, they know that's what they have to say to convince you that they are not the warloving creatures they actually are.
War is their game, they love it and it is what they live for. Without war they would be out of business and have to find constructive skills to earn their living by.
They'd much rather live off your taxes by keeping you hypnotized into believing they're doing it all for your safety and security.
But the longer you allow these sadists to run your world, the less actual safety and security you will have.
