Although the US spends more on it's military,

than the next 10 nations, COMBINED, (although we 'can't afford' Health Care) and the hawks want MORE! Bullshit Mountain is rumblin', cuz (according to them) 'Obama's Cuts', have made it difficult or impossible to wage TWO large scale wars, simultaneously. Wow, does that mean we can only start wars when they're NECESSARY, and, against the RIGHT country? What a concept! BUT, the Big Defense suppliers are bitchin' cuz instead of building tanks, ships and planes, (that the military doesn't need OR want) that go directly into 'mothballs', the govt is looking at unnecessary expenditures, like hundreds of thousand of troops, still stationed in every country we've been at war with, since WWI. The same rightwingnuts who scream for 'austerity', think we oughta spend even more on the most bloated military on the planet. Nothing new here, from the military/industrial complex, with the revolving door between military brass/lobbyists/'defense' contractors that Eisenhower warned against, although it's exploded WAY past anything he could have imagined, shoved down the taxpayers throats by the chickenhawks of FOXNews and the Pubs, one and the same. Nothing new here, but is nice to keep it in perspective, as  new world warfare has more to do with terrorists and computers, not tanks, planes and ships, which provide the Big Profits for Big Defense(R). FYI, I'm for Defense, but not the bloated bureacracy we have. If you have any doubts, check out the 'retired military' (in their 40's and 50's) inside the gated Florida golf course communities, with all the new cars, trucks and boats, that WE pay for, where I worked for years, (after hurricanes), for USAA (military) insurance. Nothing new here...
