You're missing the point. If we were an independent nation, I would hope that there's some sort of organized resistance to foreign attack. FOR OUR OWN SAFETY.
...or do you dream of American M1 Abram tanks driving down your street, with the attitude, "oh well... we tried! Wait... I guess we didn't."
While it is unreasonable to suggest any type of 'Albertan military' to hold up against the American war machine for a sustained period of time given resources, it is necessary to form SOME sort of national protection.
Hell, even Lesotho has a defense force... and it's land locked in South Africa.
