These are people fighting at home against foreigners that came and murdered their families. Don't pretend like they are nut cases, you and I would be doing the same thing should some foreign entity come in and kill our families and threaten our way of life.

It's really quite incredible how easily people misinterpret things on this board, single out a specific post within a thread, without referring to the context of the post and the spirit in which it was written, based on earlier replies.
To that end, of course I would defend my homeland, and to the death.
Had you read the earlier replies, you'd quickly see that my entire point was, and remains, that it is a flawed perception to believe one's superior military might will deter those who are determined to strike. Having a bigger military is simply not a deterrent to those bound and determined to strike. More especially a group that a group that believes a martyred death will bring them eternal rewards in an afterlife. Thus, to believe that a show of enormous military might will deter such people is, in my opinion, extremely short sighted and completed flawed.
