My point is, if we cut our military expenditures 50%, saving about $300 billion a year, we'd STILL be safe as houses! We'd be spending 5 times what China does, and STILL be the biggest military spender on Earth. We'd be spending twice as much as China, Russia and the entire "Axis of Evil" put together!
