You believe that a strong and powerful military presence is essential for national security and global influence.
Militarism is a political ideology that emphasizes the importance of military power as a primary means to achieve national objectives or even maintain domestic order. It is characterized by a strong focus on military strength, readiness, and efficiency, often prioritizing military spending and development over other areas such as social welfare or diplomacy. Militarism can also involve the glorification of the military and warfare, and the belief that military values such as discipline and hierarchy should be incorporated into society at large.
The history of militarism is as old as…

In movies where the military is portrayed, how does that influence your feelings about real-life military actions?
@9HZZL344mos4MO
It gives a much more intense feeling in the movies. Though I do not know what war is actually like, I feel as if movies depict it as much more deadly. It helps me understand somewhat of what our soldiers are going through in their minds.
@9J2242SWomen’s Equality4mos4MO
It makes me think that the military is the same as in movies and a lot of people suffer, making me sad and wonder why people sacrifice themselves for their country.
@9HZZKKV4mos4MO
Being in the Army, the Marines are often shown in every movie and films, they are portrayed as "the best branch" , I think all branches are important, not just Marines.
In reality, I've met some of the marines, and most of them can be narcissistic ****
@9J23HM44mos4MO
I believe that the military has corrupt leaders and people
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
What fears, if any, would surface in a world where the concept of a military didn't exist?
@9HTKMFF4mos4MO
I fear that if we were in a world without any country having a military, it would go two ways, the world would turn into utter chaos or the nations would be more peaceful and result to other ways of resolve conflicts like peaceful communication.
@9HTKL674mos4MO
The threat of foreign nations, national security, and our borders.
@9HTKJGSWomen’s Equality4mos4MO
Fear that people will do as they please, crossing boundaries.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
If you had to choose between national defense and international aid, where would you like to see more investment?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How would you personally define 'patriotism' and does a strong military align with your definition?
@9HGMV7XLibertarian5mos5MO
I think patriotism is holding a high opinion of one's country, regardless of others political views. I think holding a decent view of the military should be associated with patriotism because the military represents the counties strength.
@9HGL59B5mos5MO
Patriots support their own country so they want to see a strong military
@9HGL4SRRepublican5mos5MO
I think patriotism is important because if I ive in America I am gonna be proud of where I come from and be proud of who protects and fight for our country.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How would you feel if your safety depended solely on diplomacy rather than military strength?
@9HZY6MV4mos4MO
i wouldnt feel safe at all. the military will be able ti do whatever they want with whatever weapons they have and the military is kinda sketchy
@9HZYWXG4mos4MO
I would feel a bit better, but would still prefer some military presence due to many world leaders being unable to agree with one another.
@9HTWRKY4mos4MO
Does Diplomacy help a country or does it Humiliate the country further?
@9HZY8L34mos4MO
i dont think we should be spending that much money on the military
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Do you think having family members in the military can change a person's attitudes towards war and peace? How so?
@9HH9JDB5mos5MO
I think that family members who have been in the military can change a person's view for both peace and war. While some would advocate for war more often, others would tell their relatives horror stories about what war can do to a person or country and would advocate for peace.
@9HGGN8XRepublican5mos5MO
Yes, It is more likely for family members of military to be more open to helping war efforts, and enlisting themselves.
@9HGG5J45mos5MO
Yes it would give me hope because my family member is strong but it would be scare because they could die
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
What emotions do you feel when you see a display of military force or a parade?
@9H4MW98Independent6mos6MO
I feel a sense of a pride sorta, but ultimately nothing. I don't feel a certain way about the military, but knowing that well trained and equipped people are the ones protecting me, not to mention one of the best militairy's in the world is protecting me is good to know
@9H3JNYR6mos6MO
disgust and irritation. showing off your big scary guns is unnecessary. if someone fights you, fight back, but don't go out threatening everyone with bombs.
@9H3JBY56mos6MO
I feel like the government has too much military and they give the police too much power and unnecessary weapons. (reference the BLM protests with tear gas and guns)
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How would you articulate the cost of militarism on a society’s culture and values?
@9HZZZB94mos4MO
A country should foster the ability and desire to defend itself and it's cultural values within it's borders. Projecting that set of values outward to other nations just creates resentment and conflict. A degree of militarism can be good for a nation to have a disciplined culture.
@9HZYBHVProgressive4mos4MO
at this point in our society i dont think we care about our military opposed to how we care about or cops because we see them every day
@9HZYKXG4mos4MO
The government should not spend so much on just military.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Why do you think some people are drawn to join the military, and what factors would influence your own decision?
@9HG76MT5mos5MO
people wo want to not be in debt with student loans go into the military to not go into debt or just because people want to serve their country. i would never go into the military
@9HG74X6Progressive5mos5MO
Depends on the person's belief and background honestly
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Do you believe military service should be a civic duty, or should it remain voluntary?
@9H85Z8RPeace and Freedom5mos5MO
I think it should remain voluntary because we still have a strong and full military through just volunteers so why change it?
@9H85RNT5mos5MO
Voluntary. Its a process to get into any kind of military.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
What is the most compelling argument, in your opinion, for a nation to either expand or reduce their military capability?
@9HZYT5Q4mos4MO
Based on the attacks they are receiving or a threat that is being built
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Imagine if technology made traditional militaries obsolete; what new security concerns would you foresee arising?
@9HTWGMS4mos4MO
a race to see who can reach the higher milestone, and its almost like weve already had one of these back from 1945-1991
