RBC used to say "armies are there to break things and kill people." This may be the original of his quip:

The State As An Attractor for Sociopaths

What the government is good at is collecting taxes, taking away your freedoms and killing people. It’s not good at much else.  -- Tom Clancy

This one's worth carving in granite: "The state is almost universally defined as a system that enjoys a legal monopoly on the use of violence within a given territory"!

Read -- study -- redeploy. Yes, you there! /\/.\/\/.
