Emergency responders do this with much less overhead - like, well, weapons. They also receive a much more extensive training for this specific kind of thing.
Military equipment, i.e. literal murder machines.
UN Peacekeepers do this. National armies serve "national interests", as defined by the government backing them. They are not always interested in deescalation of conflicts, and US Army in particular stirred so many conflicts and made them so much worse because it served US government. Same idea for the rest.
It's their decision to join the army and voluntarily give up their right to refuse. If you know you can be sent to raze territories and people, why do you join in the first place? There are better places to do good aspects of what army occasionally does.
The primary role of military is to project power by either destroying or threatening to destroy anything a given government doesn't like. Everything else comes secondary, and if not for that, we would have dedicated personnel only meant to do the good things instead. Don't buy weapons and helicopters, train people to respond to emergencies and assist local civilians in hostile areas. UN does this. But hey, how do you instate banana republics then?
Yea not reading all that. I know it's just your opinion. Facts are the military isn't a murder machine. They serve the country in multiple areas. Many areas that don't get credit. They also do a lot of harm. But the vast majority of soldiers are amazing people who do more good in their lifetime than I bet you probably do. Much of a soldier's career is helping other people. You have a very simplistic understanding of what a military is.
The most blatant evasion.
Short version personally for you: all good things military does are better done by other specially trained people. And they don't need deadly weapons for this. Military doesn't make sense outside killing context.
P.S. My dad served in the army before he disappeared, so I'm pretty sure I know a bit.
