People wonder why desperately poor North Korea spends almost all that
it gets on building and maintaining a massive military. They forget
that that gives its members a feeling of purpose, order, certainty,
security, and much greater assurance as to having the necessities of
life, while those not in that organization have greater struggles and
uncertainties to cope with. This pattern repeats in most impoverished
nations in most of human history.
Of course one of the dangers in that is that a nation with a very
large military can feel the necessity of pointing what becomes a
"loaded gun" at a target and perhaps even firing that gun at that
target. That tends to happen when economic and social pressures
increase within a nation to the point where even the military is
questioning its own purpose, meaning, and its leadership. Those types
of questions, within a military, can result in its political leaders
sending it into battle, to restore its sense of purpose, and to
redirect potential aggression away from those political leaders,
internal to that country, outwards to an outside target. Any
convenient target, group orneighbouring country, will do in that type
of crisis. In fact is hardly matters who the enemy is, as long as
there isan enemy, clearly defined, and targeted to restore that sense
of purpose and divert anger, frustration, and questioning of purpose
politically outwards, rather than inwards.
