Why are the greens like this? How is being prepared to defend ourselves and help our allies "a concern"?

I disagree, at least one example of what they think our armed forces should be doing to protect NZ and our allies is very easy ask, and yet you can't.

Both their statements and your comments are a series of don'ts.

How do the things I mentioned not constitute protect NZ and/or our allies. Policing the EEZ against illegal fishing is protecting NZ. Taking part in international peace keeping operations is supporting allies. They are also not 'don'ts'
