This is what bugs me when I hear people say they should remove military spending.

do people say that, or do people say something more reasonable like "cut military spending by ~3-5% and invest that into things that would greatly benefit 99% of ordinary americans"

No there are some who want to see military spending cut 50% - 100%. They believe "there are no wars, why do we need to spend this much"

When they're living in ignorant bliss to the fact that they are free and protected.

You start slashing military spending and America as a world power declines.

Military spending has nothing to do with what I said. Our military gives the GI bill to coast guard members, I guess that’s a good investment?

We are inefficient across the board. An independent consultant would probably concluded our military wastes 25-50% of its budget, across the board, like the rest of the government. Also, whatever we could do to instill within children a desire to learn would be infinitely more powerful than “military spending.” Scientists and strategists win wars. Look at how Alexander took Tyre. The best Greek minds from a century long tradition of Athenian higher learning. Alexander the Macedonian had a large number of Athenians in his inner circle. I wonder why

How about the trillion dollar piece of shit jet???
A trillion fucking dollars. Whoopsie. Cause the companies CEO's retire, get jobs in government, steer more money to the companies. Take charge of the project in the government, issue blank checks to their friends, then keep saying "oh its coming, just 100m more and..!" over and over and over.

They dont spend it on good shit, lemme tell you what. Everything is old, used, and beat to shit. They spend it on maintaining junk. Why does the USA have 13 air craft carriers when the rest of the entire world has 3?? One battle group is more capable than most of the entire world's militaries. Its STUPID that the USA has this enormous fighting force for a war that simply cannot happen because to deploy all of it at once would bankrupt the nation in short order. Dumb.

Cut that shit by 30%. Park those fucking carriers. Park half the navy, army, air force, all that shit. Increase coasties, thats it. The USA faces more trouble from drug gangs than foreign enemies. Nothing hurts the usa more than poisoning its people. Thats why the afghanis give so much heroin to russia, cause they hate them.

Its a big joke. If I had not used a 30 year old floor scrubber on a 50 year old ship on 30 year old tiles i would say we are going the right direction but we are not.

Cut that shit. Spend it on spies and shit.

In 2019, Saudi Arabia spent $60 billion on defense, Israel $20 billion

Do I even need to finish my point?

Israel could defeat the entire Middle East with probably only their 40 year old f-15s

The prevention is there. Just the ships moored to the pier is prevention. The nuclear arsenal is prevention. The space weapons and spy satellites is prevention. Its all prevention when its not lowering a barrel down onto you. Dont we have enough?? Could we at least agree on that? America has enough shit, it dont need anymore. Yes? lol
