Alex said that Canada doesn't need a military because Canada doesn't piss people off, but I was wondering out loud if maybe they weren't pissing people off because they didn't have a military  Chicken/egg/chicken.....

mutt made me realize something when i made remarks in the past about Canadas military.
a simple fact is that Canada and Mexico do not NEED a significant military. i agree with that. if they dont NEED a significant military, why have one? they can spend billions of dollars on other infrastructure while the US spends billions on their own military.
makes 100% sense to me.
to make the arguement that canada does not need a military because "canada does not piss people off" means that you have to also make the case that Canada could realistically be attacked or faces any real threats while living in the shadow of a multi-trillion dollar fighting force.
