What is Lemmy's perception of the military? (r1b.it)

I feel as if Lemmings can be very politically polarizing. Definitely less so now than a few years ago, but I still see it from time to time. How does that effect the macro-community's general perception of the military? I looked and only found one community on any instance, and it was fairly small and inactive.

Idk about Lemmy's perception. My position is that the military is very expensive and doesn't bring much good to the people. What if instead of the military for a year, we modernized the grid with all the expensive eminent domain and construction? Or like help agricultural communities be less cancerous?
