Aside from the wars, America spends more than 50% of its discretionary budget on the military, per annum, 16% of its overall budget.

If we had presidents and congress who really wanted to win instead of pandering to special interests the cost would have been be a fraction of that.
Yes, but then the bankers wouldn't be nearly as rich, nor the Big Oil companies, nor the Big Pharma, Big Ag, so on. Empire is a good thing for big international corporations.
This sucks big time, and Trump needs to change this. I hope he can do it without getting taken out.
