 Japan urged to drop its militarist design
The Japanese reactionaries' hue and cry over a "new threat" is nothing but a subterfuge to justify their moves to emerge a military power and realize their ambition for overseas expansion.
It is the invariable militarist ambition of the Japanese reactionaries to launch reinvasion at any cost, taking advantage of the U.S. moves for world domination.
Their reckless moves should in no way be allowed by the world as they are foolish acts of those gripped by an anachronistic militarist daydream.

 ZNet | Activism | The Militarist and Messianic Ideologies
Although in many parts the barrier separates Palestinians from Palestinians, the militarist ideology has convinced the public that it is built to separate Israelis from Palestinians -- a classic example of an ideological superstructure camouflaging the material developments on the ground.
In terms of militarist ideology, certain elements within Peace Now hold views that are in many ways similar to Sharon's.

 The Bush Administration's Militarism by Lawrence S. Wittner
Nevertheless, George W. Bush, campaigning for the presidency, castigated the Clinton administration for allegedly letting the U.S. armed forces deteriorate, criticized nuclear arms control treaties negotiated by his Democratic and Republican predecessors, and called for a military buildup.
Once elected, Bush and his advisors began putting their militarist priorities into effect.
Given the Bush administration's militarist mentality, it brushed aside any doubts about military solutions to U.S. problems and quickly plunged into wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

 Nuclear Warrior Replaces Bolton as Arms Control Chief - Worldpress.org
Moving into the old job of John Bolton, the administration’s hard-core unilateralist nominee to be the next ambassador to the United Nations, Robert G. Joseph is the right-wing’s advance man for counter-proliferation as the conceptual core of a new military policy.
After 9/11 Joseph and other administration militarists quickly placed the threat from terrorism at the centre of their threat assessments without changing their recommendations for security strategy.
Arms control chief Joseph is a new breed of militarist who believes that in a world where weapons of mass destruction may be proliferating, it behooves the United States to bolster its own W.M.D. arsenal and then use it against other proliferators.

 Proposal to Save a World
From my perspective, the two primary political factions are the "Traditionalists" and the "Militarists." The Traditionalists adhere to values such as noninterference, sentient rights, nonviolence, and improving life styles.
The Militarists are concerned with threats such as the Borg and Dominion, and perceive that practical, direct, and forceful action is required to defend against these threats.
To this extent, the encroachment of Militarist philosophy and doctrine within the Administration and Starfleet Admiralty is a grave concern.

What I find to be totally intellectually dishonest is your defense of the label "militarist".
For someone to be labeled "militarist" explicitly, the same standard as above should apply.
Someone should be atypically, abnormally militarist to deserve the label.

 I. Wallerstein, "The Militarist Camp in the U.S."
The militarist wing of the Republican Party runs against the grain of the economic conservative wing (or at least a part of it).
So the macho militarists may find arrayed against them not merely those they regard as their enemies (say, China and Russia) and the major U.S. allies but perhaps some major transnationals and other large U.S. businesses.
This may cause Bush to rein in the macho militarists, because if he doesn't they might escalate the provocations.

The political system in Heinlein's future earth is militarist meritocracy - only those who have succesfuly served a military term earn citizenship and the franchise.
For a far better more mature read (apart from the naievety of the central character and the absence of sex), I reccomend "Citizen of the Galaxy" its the book that got me into Heinlein when I was 11 or such.
Admittedly, it did feel like a podium upon which he could vent a lot of his views through a fictional scenario, which he blended with some fantastic ideas on the future of warfare.

 BBC News | NORTHERN IRELAND | Mandelson denies 'militarist' charge
Secretary of State Peter Mandelson has hit back at Sinn Fein accusations that he is a "militarist".
Speaking in the House of Commons, Mr Mandelson said standards that Sinn Fein are demanding on demilitarisation from the British government should apply equally to the IRA.
He was responding to the dismissal by Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness of his earlier comments that the price for making a mistake on border security could be a repeat of the 1998 Omagh bombing.

 Glorification of war in Ieper (Ypres)
And exactly this is tolerated by the municipality of Ieper to attract Angelsaksian tourists with war tourism and to get their money for the local traders.
And a graffitti of local teenagers at their militarist monuments is for them such a sacrelege that it cause always a diplomatic incident between Belgium and the United Kingdom, and makes local police and national guard do an nearly superhuman effort to find and to punish the perpetrators.
It seems that a graffitti on their militarist monuments is worser than a bankrob.

 Japan does NOT go militarist - AlternateHistory.com Discussion Board
This was probably intended as the prelude to a takeover attempt, but the government disowned the operation and the Army wasn't desperate/independent/powerful enough to proceed without official backing yet.
Secondly, Japan would have had a militaristic, right-wing government in power in 1929 to take the blame for the Great Depression rather than a Liberal one, leaving liberal politicians with enough credibility to remain a force in Jap0anese politics.
Finally, the obvious and emotive "military" response to the economic crisis (the occupation of Manchuria) would not be an issue in 1930-31.

The initiative formed at the Turkey leg of the "World march of women" called on everyone who demands "freedom, peace and democracy and who are pro-life," to say "No" to war once again.
In a press statement, the initiative said that the anti-Kurdish, nationalist and militarist climate is on the rise again in Turkey with the events that followed after March 20, 2005 when two children in Mersin allegedly burned the Turkish flag.
"The lack of response to the six-year-long cease fire and peace climate, is provoking once again the formation of all kinds of guerilla, profiteer, militarist and patriarchal groups," said the statement.

On a deeper level, the settler movement realizes that Sharon is creating a rift between the messianic and militarist ideologies.
All these liberals want is an immediate divorce, and Sharon, they think, can perform the ceremony.
What Sharon and the Israeli peaceniks who support the separation barrier neglect to see is that while the barrier imprisons the Palestinians, it is also encircling Israel, turning it, as it were, into an island, as opposed to a state among states in the Middle East.

 Economic strategy games: "Rise of Nations" & "Thrones & Patriots"
On behalf of television, we might suspect that MTV is less harmful than FOX News militarism--in which case passivity might be better than twisted joy in video-game militarism, in which there is often not even an ideological reason to serve as a veneer for the glories of war.
In between the simple militarist games and games like RoN are role-playing games where the brain may be at work in a complicated maze and journey, but emphasis is on the individual's combats or explorations.
The predominance of militarist and role-playing games is the reason that MIM finds something to cheer in RoN, because at least in RoN there is an entire economy, a political system and history.

 Tokyo governor uses earthquake drill to push rightwing, militarist agenda
Tokyo governor Shintaro Ishihara, an outspoken opponent of Japan's post-World War II constitutional limits on the functions of the armed forces, transformed the city's annual earthquake drill on September 3 into a platform for his bellicose nationalism and a public relations exercise for the normally unobtrusive Japanese military.
The New York Times dubbed it a “militarist moment”; Singapore's Straits Times said it had a “militarist tone”.
In April, when Ishihara foreshadowed the military's role in the drill, he justified it with crude appeals to anti-immigrant chauvinism.

 A POLITICAL AND A MILITARIST RATIONALE By Fehmi AGANI - THE WEIGHING MACHINE OF A FORMER DIPLOMAT - WHEN WILL NATO ...
The first thing you come about and is imposed while you analyze the relation of politics and military, accordingly a political and military or militarist view or rationale, are ties between them.
As a way of contemplation on issues, the military rationale is absolutism of force, violence, of the fire power of this or that army.
Not only because there always are sides stronger then the "mighty one", but also because force, violence, and imposing, as basic features of militarism, inescapably cause respective counteractions, and instead of resolving, block the solving of question.

 Mises Economics Blog: Militarist Campaigns Against CNOOC Bid for Unocal
The militarist Frank Gaffney, head of the Boeing-funded Center for Security Policy, has been leading the charge to prevent shareholders of Unocal from selling their company to Chinese oil company CNOOC.
The anti-free trade, pro-intervention types also generally represent a militaristic attitude that believes that if the U.S. does not act, our country will soon be ruled by the Chinese.
Similarly, prejudging those who even question the possible sale of Unocal to a foreign interest as anti-trade, pro-intervention, and militaristic is typical of childish labeling, but not grounded necessarily in reality.

 The Trotskyist LRP denounces the anti-draft movement
In this introduction they claim that, although Lenin claims that he is supporting anti-militarist propaganda, he was really a "revolutionary militarist".
Was Lenin really putting forward a militarist path for the working class movement, or was Lenin an enthusiastic supporter of anti-militarist agitation?
His opposition to the bourgeoisie's foreign conquests was farmed, therefore, not as anti-imperialism but as a revolutionary militarist's version of anti-militarism.
