I do believe that it is important for a country to have a strong military in order to be a global super power. This is because, a nations strength is shown through its military. Yes, the world has developed in technology, and is finding new ways to show its strength and development. With computers being used frequently, one would think what is the use of a military? However, a military shows physical power. When in war a computer may be able to gain information, but it would not be able to stand up and physically fight for their nations. Countries still depend on physical man power for their security. According to American Live Wire, the top five military power are: United States, China, Russia, India, United Kingdom. This porters that in order to be a super power like United states, or rising super power like China and India, a country needs to have a well trained and numbering military. The United Nations, a global influential power, too, uses military in order to promote peace, and help people be secure. This shows how a military can be used for multiple purposes, such as: being seen as a threat, or seeing it as peace keeping group. Either way, in order to be an influential global power, a country needs a military.
