Description
Is the amount of money the United States puts into its military worth the cost? If not, what else should the money be put into?
It should be spent in the stabalizatiin of their economy and after that the improvement of their young's education followed by the entertainment of the populace.
A happy nation is a healthy nation.
Though keeping a good military is wise too. Instead of quantity ut should be quality, there are countless examples were a well-armed military took on a larger military.
The US has arguably a quantative military.
Ironic since now Russia is turning for a small, yet very will equipped army.
In all honesty USA in now virtually becoming another USSR. Promoting and/or enforcing "Democracy" everywhere.
How cruel fate can be lol.
The graph speaks for its self. The US has a monopoly in military power; the most useless thing to have a monopoly over in the 21st century.
The price of just one Tomahawk missile is enough to feed nearly 300 people for 5 years. If the US government directed 25% of their yearly military spending towards humanitarian and civil work, they could feed Africa for well over a decade.
That's also because their those are private companies developing and manufacturing american weapons. If those were state's factories, it would be much cheaper I think.
hmm The state of the city of Hiroshima vs the city of Detroit.
