This is strange to me because this is basically forcing drills that better prepare their enemy.

Sound the fire alarm over a birthday cake candle once, and you've got a drill making people get better at evacuating.

Sound the fire alarm over a birthday cake candle several times a week, and people learn the alarm means there's no fire, no need to rush, they've got time to finish that e-mail and grab their coat.

If you never go to war with your enemy, your enemy's continued preparations are wasted money and resources (both political and economic), aren't they?

The type of preparations being forced are things the government should be doing regardless as part of their national defense.

Ironically this is what caused the fall of the Soviet Union.
