Serious question.

If you are not prepared to stand up against the worst parts of humanity, is there any need for you to have an army?
You're presenting a false dicotomy here. Militaries are for defending the country as much as attacking others. In fact, in this day in age, with waning imperialism, that's really all they are 'supposed' to be for. Just because someone doesn't want to use the military in an offensivr engagement doesn't mean they see no use for it.

Now, I'm not against attacking ISIS, but the question you asked really isn't as serious as you seem to think it is. There are plenty of reasons to have a functioning military and still be against action v ISIS (or other engagements).
