But even if it does it is better tahn being the world police which requires us to spend 40% of the world budget on military spending and getting a lot of fine young men and women killed.  Personally I am tired of seeing US troops die for citizens of other countries and US taxpayers go deeper and deeper in debt to pay for it.

Yet, when you compare our Military Budget to other countries based on percentage of GDP we don't even crack the top 20 in the world. Matter of fact the 3.3% we spend on Military Budget falls well short of the 15.2% we spend on Welfare entitlements.

What are we going in debt to pay for again?
