Besides, a LOT of OUR "defense" spending is hidden in the science budget, the homeland security budget, etc. A lot of our spying budget is completely secret.

.its so over the top, its embarrassing:

Are you embarrassed that we, the USA, saved the world from Hitler?

Are you embarrassed that when we conduct a war we are more conservative of innocent life, as well as lives of our soldiers, than any other military in history?

You see how f*cking stupid your argument is?
