Defense: The Problem Is Not Money

Defense: The Problem Is Not Money
http://thehill.com/policy/defense/324595...tary-power

Quote:Russia, China making gains on US military power

Quote:The United States still outspends its rivals on the military, with a roughly $600 billion budget that is three times as much as Beijing and more than six times as much as Moscow.
But much of the U.S. spending is paying for military operations overseas, such as the fight against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
“U.S. forces … go halfway around the world to fight. And they fight in the other guy’s backyard, at times in places of the other guy’s choosing. And that’s the problem,” said David Ochmanek, senior defense researcher at the RAND Corporation.

We're never happier than when we are fucking with people.  And its driving us into the poor house.
