Idk...just because you reject militarism, that does not mean that you should not understand and cover your defense needs so you're not a useless sitting duck. Of course that full defense has to include healthcare, social programs, education, etc, so that you don't have the misery that other countries (and fascists) can weaponize against you.

No I just don’t think a state that currently persecutes a whole bunch of its citizens with a rising fascist party, that is an accessory to an ongoing genocide, that supports mass austerity in say Greece, that supports trump’s war on Iran I don 't think that state heavily militarizing is a good thing. Maybe I’m crazy for saying this.
