It is basically the same thing as criticizing the United States for having had a huge military/intelligence operation during the Cold War.
"Durr . . the Soviets never attacked us. I guess that big military wasn't needed after all."

I've got two parents, a grandparent, and a mother-in-law all in the danger zone.
