Interesting point, based on this I could argue that military might (elephant power) is necessary for peace, if not used to coerce others

a country that builds nuclear power to protect itself but has a no first aggression rule could be a parallel to the elephants

Si vis pacem, para bellum.

That's Latin for "if you want peace, prepare for war". It was true 2000 years ago and it's true now. If you want to be a pacifist, you should learn a martial art. If you want a peaceful government, you should learn to use a gun.
