why? are the terrorists gonna get us? we all saw on 9/11 just how much all that military spending got us. If the terrorists really wanted to fuck this country, they could do it in a heartbeat. A couple random bombings every day in a few major US cities would completly shut this country down. A military keeps us safe from invasion (which would NEVER EVER EVER happen anyways). It can secure “US Interests” in other countries (aka give us your oil or else).
Iraq is the perfect example of how throwing troops and money at a situation isnt the best foreign policy.
