Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
Every year, the United States government spends the equivalent of $3,300 for each working citizen on its military budget. In aggregate, this grand total of $610 billion in defense spending amounts to about half of the dollars globally spent on the military.
With $216 billion spent per year, China has the next largest budget by far. But, to get to a number even close to U.S. spending, the military budgets of China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, India, Japan, United Kingdom, and France would have to be added together.
From another perspective, the amount of annual defense spending per working person in the U.S. is higher than the income per capita of 70 countries, including places such as Morocco, Nigeria, Nicaragua, India, and Ukraine.
This means that if somehow the people of Nicaragua were taxed 100% with all money going to defense, it would only amount to a budget 1.8% of the size of America's.
And even though all those expenses they always fail on the battlefield.
Americans soldiers are only good in movies.
Their problem is that they fight for money in foreign lands against people who are fighting for their life, family and country.
American are now being hatred everywhere they go even by their natural allies ; I mean we, the Europeans. And that's not good for their spirit.
