I mean, no one has to buy their own tank There are actually people who buy their own tank for civilian use. IIRC you basically have to replace the treads with street-viable alternatives and it's weapons have to be non-functional, but otherwise you could legally drive a tank. I mean, the price would be bonkers and I'm sure it's more complicated than that, but you could. Anyways, a military is not something socialist. It's one of the basic needs of a nation to allow for the protection of their borders and for them to project international power. Without a military basically any hostile nation could invade a defenseless nation with ease and either turn them into a puppet/subjugated state or just flat-out conquer them. --- I am the gentle hand who heals, the happy smile who shields, and the foot that will kick your ***! - White Mage ...
