While it is very important to be able to develop thoughts and ideals for everyone to be governed under, it's just as important to have an executive branch that can enforce those laws and ideals. Ideals and positions are needed, but if you don't enforce and uphold them then it is simply nothing but some words on a sheet of paper. That is where military and police come in.

To think you can do it all yourself is being naive. If you don't think the military is important, then go and try to make war with China by yourself. The communists will send you to Canton province in a chinese food box.

Also, one thing most people don't realize is when you start physically fighting for political interests then that makes you all soldiers. Therefore if you willing to fight for something, then you are a soldier for that cause. Think about it.
