Sounds like someone else is preety smart.

The World Without USA.: Pay-Per-View only $2.99. The World Without US a documentary by Mitch Anderson and Jason J. Tomaric

I should mention she watched it on netflix.

What a load. Im still waiting for you to make an example of how they compare. A blanket bs statement like this one does nothing for your argument. We ride the edge of the sword on a global scale. We dont act we get shit, we act we get shit, we dont act fast enough we get shit. Those big bad americans never make the world populace happy but never mind its our blood, sweat, and tears that pay the bill for every conflict while we get shit.

Actually i forgot about those. I'll have to track them down again. I like watching some docs i just dont get sucked into them all. Im hoping the one the wife recommended is good. She knows my taste to odds are i'll enjoy it.

Dgod, you wouldn´t foot the bill if you knew it´d get you nothing. It´s all about power. All about keeping countries in line, letting them know who´s the boss. The Mafia Principle. It´s simple. I don´t judge it, I just call it as it is. I´m not the one who whines if the U.S. interferes or does not interfere. I just try to read the plays.

Our military budget is huge and i doubt any one any where would say other wise. That being said that budget does so much more then just buy weapons and pay troops. Our presence alone in foriegn countries keeps peace. Our abilty to deploy any where in under 72 hours keeps peace.

If we fixed our budget shortfalls by bringing all over our troops back to the US its likely chaos would spring out in multiple areas. Other countries love to hate on us (and some people here) for sticking our nose where it "doesn't belong" but have they thought about what happens when we dont stick our nose in? Have they considered what happens to people when we wait to long?

Dont get me wrong its a good cop out excuse but it really solves nothing. Cutting military budget would only hurt those that live in this country because the bulk of that money used for jobs and equipment go to people HERE. Its precisely why up to our resent wars the statement "War is good for the economy" came into play because it truly was. A much more effective way to fix our economy is start actually making our day to day shit here. Thats what we lost.

My communication mistake. Didn't mean to imply that we spend too much for armed forces. I believe the big stick approach saves us resources in the long run and stops things before they start. Like the patrol car in the neighborhood, visibility is a valueable deterrent. Like the 'protected by Smith and Wesson sticker'.

I still think the wishy washy congress combined with an all too powerful executive branch is a significant problem in our government.

The military budget is 4.7% of GDP according to Wikipedia. Seems pretty cheap compared to the 95.3% it protects.

When you have a lot like we do in the U.S. it takes a lot to keep safe.

And just to clarify...when you read a comment of mine...know where I´m coming from.I think like a criminal...so I don´t blame the U.S. for doing what they do...I sure as hell criticize some of the shit that has been done in the past and things that are going on today...but I understand why the U.S. does it. At least I think I do, thinking like a criminal, I´d do the same thing. Someone steps out of line in my neighborhood, they have to be disciplined. Everybody pays me, swears allegiance to me and I´ll protect them from other criminals...stuff like that. That´s how I look at it and that´s how I think it works.

Jerking donkeys off in some third world country is hardly what i call a working man.

I agree. People just like to look at us as a bully because we can put people back in line and every once in a while we do just that. However that decision has never been made lightly. All of which is easy to over look if your just looking for someone to blame your problems on.
