Think a little less directly, meeting people's needs vs bombing them. In the US, ~6 hours of "defense" spending could put everyone in the country on food stamps for a year

That works, somewhat.

But if you tell a person "I'm going to fuck you, calm down" they just call the police, or deck you in the face.

Meanwhile the European countries with legalized brothels/prostitution dont spend enormous amounts of money on their own defense budget and are chill af to visit as a tourist.
