It has been known for a long time that war is
extremely dangerous, destructive and causes death of hundreds of innocent
people. That is why more and more people think that all the armies should be
abolished. I agree with them, but their idea has some advantages and
disadvantages too.
First of all, as I have said before, every war leads
to destruction, suffering and death. If countries did not have armed forces,
they would not be able to trigger a war. In case of a conflict the authorities
will have to use peaceful means. As a result, citizens will feel safer.
Secondly, holding an army can be really costly. The authorities
have to spend money on modern and expensive weapon, military equipment and
training. If armies were abolished, the authorities would save a lot of money.
The saved money could be spent on public health or economic development.
On the other hand, there is a risk that most of the
countries will abolish their armies and some of them will hold armies in
secret. In case of a war the countries which do not have armed forces are not
able to protect their citizens and fight. Therefore the army is a guarantee of
safety and peace.
To sum up, abolishing armies can help us to avoid wars
and military conflicts. However, we should remember that this idea involves
agreement and cooperation between all the countries.
