Bullshit; when you build a military complex among the citizens (pretty much what you are suggesting with your contention that all military installations should be on the coast and borders with other countries) means that civilians are subject to being harmed.

So, you recommend all countries be sure to embed their troops and military installations deeply in residential communities.
