Earlier quoted context omitted.

The military is a solution in search of problem? Seriously? I am assuming that getting rid of most of the DHS sub-agencies was an exaggeration. But I can not understand why you would say the military is a solution in search of a problem.

And I can not understand how can you not say the military is a solution in search of a problem.

Because self-defense of active threats is not the only purpose of the military. The military does not need to involved in combat to be part of an active geopolitical strategy. It's mere existence and size are themselves an extremely effective tool for peaceful foreign policy.
