    Not to mention, our military budget is more than the GDP of 85% of the countries in the world, and it’s only getting bigger. The proposed budget for next year is more than 90% of the world’s countries’ GDP. Think about that for a few minutes.

      Dude the USA just de facto surrendered to Iran.

      I don’t think those ludicrous amounts of money that corporations embezzle via the military is at all representative of it’s quality.

        A military is only as good as its leaders, which means right now, ours is complete and utter shit, as we’re seeing.
