No? Then why do we ask people to give their lives to make it a safe one?

Safe isn't the same as economically powerful.
Look at Bhutan with their Gross National Happiness as an alternative.
Are you in America? No one in the Us military is giving up lives to keep citizens safe.
For other countries, it’s because the nation state is the current agreed upon divider for certain things like borders.
To moralize nationalism is weird and anti-humanity.
What are they giving up their lives for? American soldiers die in duty every year.
Like the arbitrary bombing of Venezuelans, this isn't to make Americans safer but to make other countries more dangerous.
medals. they all like a medal.
That take says a lot about your perception of power.
