Answer 11

I'm sorry, apparently everyone thinks one sentence is a paragraph:

Soldiers in any society are important.  They provide the ability to defend a countries borders, to expand a country's territory by force of arms if necessary, and to maintain peace with one's territorial neighbors.  Having an active and well-trained soldiery or militia is as necessary for any country as it is to have an effective system of laws, enforcement of said laws and stable governing body to rule the citizenry.  

Soldiers are trained warriors, and as such are important in times when diplomacy with one's neighbors or enemies break down.  Without the soldier to stand ready, civilians would have no protection of their own beyond the mercy of the "enemy" soldiers.

Hope this helps!
