It is not wise to pretend there is no need for security, either, merely because some use the term falsely.

When a nation is attacked within its own borders there is a need for security that is not bogus.

It is also not wise to pretend that a great, powerful nation can withdraw from the world without serious and deadly consequences.

It is not wise to pretend there is no need for security, either, merely because some use the term falsely.

Wise it is for a populace to secure itself individually and en masse, yes. Dangerous it is to surrender liberty, hmmmm? Dangerous it is to abandon self defense to a central authority. There will the dark side take root.
