	Defense (military) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In military science, defense (or defence) is the art of preventing an enemy from conquering territory.
		Defense may also be a euphemism for war, such as "Ministry of Defence".
		In non-local conflicts, it is generally true that defenders have an advantage over attackers, since they may have the ability to make preparations for the battle to protect themselves from the enemy while making the enemy vulnerable, such as laying obstacles such as landmines or preparing positions such as trenches and fortifications.

	Post-Cold War US Military Expenditure -- Project on Defense Alternatives
		The determination of military requirements should rest on (i) a calculation of national interests and goals, (ii) an assessment of the potential military challenges to those interests and goals, and (iii) a choice among the various means -- military and nonmilitary, cooperative and independent -- for meeting the challenges.
		Among those attributes conducive to cost-effective expenditure are (I) a high-level of military professionalism, (ii) open public debate on military policy issues, (iii) close scrutiny of military budgets by parliamentary authorities, (iv) multiple independent authorities for the testing and evaluation of procurement and other policy choices, and (v) a competitive defense industry.
		The burden of defense born by the United States, its allies, and close friends is today more equitably distributed among the members of this group -- even though the United States continues to devote more of its GNP to defense than is the average for the group.
