We've still got a military suitable for a WWIII against the Soviet Union, which no longer exists. We built such a huge military-industrial complex that it's just kept grinding on all these years on sheer momentum. The US spent 400 billion last year on our military, while Russia spent 65 billion and China spent 47 billion. The entire "axis of evil" spent 7 billion. We can't even close all our unneccesary bases because they "create jobs" in the Red AND Blue states. Voting against ridiculous weapon systems is a hopeful sign in a candidate.
