military
Meaning
The military refers to the armed forces of a country, including the army, navy, and air force, which are responsible for defending the nation and conducting warfare.
💡 A common mistake is using "military" as an adjective without specifying the noun it modifies, such as saying "the military forces" instead of just "the military."
