You might be correct, however self defense isnt the sole reason for The Pentagons existence, as I am sure we all know.

This is definitely not true. That's kind of like saying you only ever need a pneumatic jackhammer for every home improvement project because it can essentially do whatever a screwdriver or hammer might accomplish. If all you have are nuclear missiles, then you cannot really adequately respond to most threats. Also the military does other stuff like humanitarian aid and protecting shipping and disaster relief.

I agree. There are plenty of sound reasons for wanting a strong military.

However, the idea that one of them is to prevent us from waking up to find Chinese tanks on the White House lawn is false.
