What experience do you have to judge what money makes an efficient military?? That's like me assuming that 600B is no where near enough, it should be 1T...I don't know. I just know that from what I've seen there is much more to military spending then military hardware. I'm not sure what you want the military to cut back on?

All industry is corrupt, whether it is government or commercial, I don't know why the government which is made up of people is suppose to be so superior to the average Joe. Show me one country with no corruption.....?
