I just dont understand were all this money goes, or how other countries can compete with us when they spend in comparsion soo little.

Worth every single penny.

And when you look at it other countries really don't compete (no offense). The US is very much in a leage of its own.

Yes.
I'm sick and tired of pulling out stuff I recognize from Band of Brothers.

Maybe you should write to your Republican senators and congressmen for some answers, Ribs. It obviously is becoming quite a worry for you.

Im not saying I disagree with it, just we spend so much more than any body else it just seems like we should be so far ahead, and were not THAT far ahead.

How can they do that when the U.S. is in $7 or $8 trillion in debt

You're kidding me? We just orchestrated two of the most successful major combat invastions of sovereign countries in history in a period of 15 months(?)

No other country in the world could even dream of such a feat.

Has anyone ever looked at how much the U.S. gives in foreign aid each year? Just curious as I would not even know where to look.

wow thats alot of money.. even maintaining an army of 1.4mil sounds expensive to me already.. I hope they stop spending.. because those debt will be passed on.. ugh..
