Just curious - you don't believe that people should be subjected to violence, but how would a state be able to enforce sovereignty over its territory, without the means of violence? Implied or otherwise.

I know the US defense complex gets a lot of sh!t for its massive expenditure, but the hard reality is that no state on earth is going to invade the US, and thus threaten its citizens within the boarder, which is a result of tax money being spent on building the most powerful military in the world.
