I don't want to start a long drawn out argument over this...but you have to realize that once the Soviet Union FELL...we then found out that they weren't the big threat we thought they were (Sound familiar?)
We never needed to spend this much money on peace time military. This is all about greed. Pure and simple stealing taxpayer money for $200 hammers and $300 toilet seats and enough nuclear missiles to blow the world up 1000 times that will never be used.
