        That would be because the largest military in the world is not big enough. You people are freaking insane.

        700b a year isn’t enough? And yet you complain that healthcare or free college for every American is too expensive? 🤔

        So the military industrial complex and big banks can have us by the balls even more? So we can continue to invade sovereign nations without any morally justifiable reason? No thank you.More money towards education, infrastructure (roads, bridges, natural energy) healthcare. #USA

        what we're doing around the world is not "defense". it's adventurism. endless adventurism. and, apparently, we're not at all good at that.

        Clearly we need to spend exactly twice what the next eight countries behind us spend on defense. A cool trillion! To do what, exactly?

        Yeah, no. The majority of the Defense Budget is used as a cash cow by private contractors who provide overpriced services and materials of little or no value to our military. Wonder how many of our politicians are getting kickbacks from this? I'd bet most.
