Giving soldiers effective tools makes war less likely, not more likely.
The idea is that if you're armed forces can mow the opposition down like wheat before a threshing machine, the opposition won't even try it.
Look: war is going to happen. Would you be more afraid of a mob of guys with sticks, or an army than can take you out before you know they're there?
