"The goal of the military is to settle international conflict through violence."
That is misleading. The purpose of the military is to safeguard the interests of our country through its presence and--if necessary--decisive violence. No US military leader wants to fight a war; that notion is absurd.
Don't confuse the desires of the military with the occasional desires of its civilian leadership.
