[Star Wars] Why does the Republic keep disarming its military if it regularly gets attacked? E.g. Clone Wars, Mandalorian Wars, all of the Sith invasions, First Order, etc.

It would seem that the Republic should have learned its lesson after the first conflict it was unprepared for.

Mandalorians Wars and Sith Wars were literal millennia before the Clone Wars.

The Clone Wars is the first time in millennia that the Republic as a whole was under attack and not just internal skirmishes.
