Every time a international arms fair (the military kind)opens up, the U.S. is almost always one of the top proprietors there. But, with every item, and key competent a military weapon or system sold. That means we have to now out do ourselves, in order to stay ahead of the market. Basically, almost like a self inflicted blow.

It shows how our (quoted earlier) economy can rebound , and balance military funding with the many other government organizations in our nation. If you can afford to throw your top technology around, for all to see. Only to out do yourself in under a decade. Then you are a militarized state or nation. Now, I'm not saying that we sell all our technology, especially our aerospace systems.

And, how long we can last like this? I don't know, but, this nation, accounts for allot of other misc. things that can be linked to this, in fact, we produce the most garbage than any nation in the world. That means, we can afford a packaged society, everything in the states is packaged, everything.

2nd, we are the most, polluting nation in the world, meaning that, we accord for a large percentage of the world's air and water pollution. What does that say about our nation? (we are industrialized)

And last, this nation is the world's biggest consumer on fossil fuels. Which, means, much of our society can afford oil products , like automobiles, outside of industry. Which means, our citizens have a generally higher quality of life than those of some other nations. (no international offense)

All in all, we are industrialized, and rich, and have been for years. Coupled that with a undeniable, active military history. And experience, then you've got yourself with one thriving war machine, and thus, a thriving arms market.

Frankly, I cant think of any other way to word it....
