While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Robert M. Gates, Secretary of Defense (foreign military aggression), speaking at National Defense University, predicts that growing anti-war sentiment in Europe is a threat to world peace:

       The demilitarization of Europe–where large swaths of the general public and political class are averse to military force and the risks that go with it–has gone from a blessing in the 20th century to an impediment to achieving real security and lasting peace in the 21st.
