"The vast majority of Americans have NO CLUE that we spend as much as the rest of the entire world on our military anyway."

You might want to dig further into your data before you arrive at that conclusion.....but, of course, you won't really want to do that because you just might find out that you are FOS.

One example....

"China's defense spending is by no means transparent. China’s published defense budget does not include large categories of expenditure, including expenses for strategic forces, foreign acquisitions, military-related research and development, and China’s paramilitary forces."

To be realistic...not your strength...you also need to look at military spending as a percent of GNP. You'll find the US way down the list.
