The importance of defense forces in retaining truth, morality, and justice

Intellectual and moral leaders say truth is right, morality is right, justice is right, but the real world says might is right. Who is right?

Truth, morality, and justice are right but they have to compete in the relativity of a might-is-right world.

We won't have truth, morality, and justice in the world without the power to establish them and then defend them.

This doesn't require totalitarianism, dictatorship, or illegality, but realism says that we need to defend truth, morality, and justice in any system, ideology, or even religion.

Few individual men have had both wisdom and social power, which is why ancient human history developed a tripartite sharing system between priests, warriors, and food providers. Modern men in the West seem not to want to think about the reality that we still need to be backed by defense forces if we wish to survive and prosper in the world.

I think of this when I see our defense forces discredited, but also when our political elites use them unwisely.
