And whether you realize it or not every country needs some kind of military force in order to preserve itself.

Some are prepared to take the risk: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_without_armed_forces#Countries_without_armed_forces

I'd point out, by the way, that there are more than a few places where civilians feel themselves just as much at risk from their own country's armed forces than from other countries'. Not everyone is lucky enough to be able to trust their government's security forces.

From a statistical (and factual) standpoint, conflict has been more deadly for civilians for some time now. You are much less likely to die in war as a combatant than an innocent civilian caught in the crossfire.
