Yeah, but imagine if you completely get rid of standing armies only in the USA.  There&#x27;s a huge peace dividend for the USA, but also a huge vulnerability to anybody in the world who decides to keep their military and attack the USA.<p>See, Sanders isn&#x27;t running for president of the world.  He doesn&#x27;t get to disarm everybody else.  If he wins, he only gets to run the USA.  Everyone else keeps their own psychopaths and machiavellians and thugs that are running things.
