"I'm not going to pass judgment on whether armies should exist, but I would prefer to not spread and democratise the ability to fight war to every single human being."
What an interesting choice of words.
He might want to read the 2nd amendment to the US Constitution (just as a good place to start).
I'd like to ask him if he thinks big armies are more likely to exist when governments use taxation, fiscal policy, and conscription to fund and staff armies, or if things are "democratized."
