like brazil has not been in a war, in any real sense, since world war 2, so they are not for fighting countries they are for the whole staying in the border in the middle of the amazon and cooperate with the military police in their eternal crusades against poor people and also ocassionally doing natural disaster relief on foreign countries for diplomacy like the brazilian state has a way more diplomacy focused nature so i feel like that is a consequence and also if we expanded the army we are always just raising the risk of them doing a dang coup because of the united states so there is no point in doing it
