It only depends on how money you spend for the defense. USA has got the biggest budget for the army, with only 20% of it we can feed all the people on earth, we can also with a little more, give education to all children.
So it give you an idea about how huge is the US army bugdet.
It's the same for Israel, and other developed countries except Japan or Switzerland or also Germany who made the choice to not spend much money in the army and weapons.
Poor countries cannot do that, just because they don't have so much money, and because they've got other main domains to spend in (agriculture, education, health …). And also because, some powers don't want that other countries to have weapons that can threat them. They just want to stay as military powers.

And there's no many humanity in war, so don't try to find a bit of humanity in it.

WE FIND THIER HUMANITY AS GOVERNMENTS ONLY BY THE WORDS

IT IS FUNNYWE SAY GOOD SOMETHINGS AS PERVECT, AND DO KILL BY OTHERWORDS  LIKE WAR OF THE TERRORISTS

WHO CAN SAY THAT WE A KILLER RATHER THAN TERRORIST

KILLER BY LONGMAN,

a person, animal, or thing that kills:

Heart disease is America's number one killer.
the hunt for her killers
weed killer
 
AND TERRORIST BY SAME DICTIONARY,
 
 someone who uses violence such as bombing, shooting etc to obtain political demands:
We refuse to talk to terrorists.
terrorist attack/activity/offence
Twenty people were killed in the latest terrorist attack.
terrorist group/organization
A terrorist bomb that left 168 people dead.

To Hekmer 

Some actions comitted by the army are similar to terrorism.

You know, we consider as terrorist a lot of people. It depends on which camp you are.

In my country, in France during the occupation by Germany (the 3rd Riech), some famous people were called resistant in France, but they were called terrorist by the German government.

Nelson Mandela was considered as a terrorist for a long time by South African's government for example.

To Aljensen

Yes true, I suppose you mean that superpowers are not always succesfull.
But wars in Afghanistan (who defeated USSR and maybe the USA soon) opposed a modern army with a lot of technology and materials against people with no really military facilities.
It's the same for the Vietnam who defeated France and then the USA.

But that's even more easier to win a war when you have a hi-tech army.

Yes, you're right that's why the example of Vietnam and Afghanistan are good ones to illustrate what you say.
