Reply #19: Military spending [View All]

[DireStrike]

Let's say I agree with everything you said. Which I do, mostly.

Look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_expenditures

We spend as much money on military as just about every other country in the world combined. What situation could possibly require this?

And to top it off, all of that military can't fight its way through a third world hellhole like Iraq, because it all goes to ultra-expensive planes and bombs, which do a HELL of a job on conventional militaries... none of which threaten us. Or even would for the next few decades, if we stopped all military spending right this second.
