I mean that people are basically enculturated to think that war is ok or necessary. They are taught to support the troops because they are necessary for your protection. I don't think that this is necessarily true. Personally, I see this as a way for a coercive monoply to stay in power.
What difference does it make if our culture romanticizes war? It's nothing new. Maybe our culture is just a reflection of our true nature rather than a deliberate attempt to control people? I've spent the last 7 pages trying to explain why militaries are necessary. Are you not reading anything I write?
