global military spending: check this out

If this chart is accurate the US spends so much more than any/every other country in the world on their military, the only question I can think of to ask is, why? If, compared to Russia and China, in particular, we spend so comparatively much, who exactly are we competing with, anyway?

It seems like a more intelligent expenditure of resources (as opposed to just throwing more money around) would provide a much greater return on investment.

Why, indeed. We could debate for hours...instead, you should scroll down and read all the comments. Both informative AND amusing.
