United States spends 10 times as much as China on military expenditures. Additionally, a large amount of the acknowledged defense budget is "black," meaning that on top of the over $620 billion per year they admit to allocating for their contracts, there are large sections of the budget containing authorized expenditures for even more, classified projects. Classified projects do not allow for public oversight of budget, operations, and outcomes. Military strategy of not only siphoning critical resources into their own projects while blocking access of non-military assets to jobs, funding and resources, is having a debilitating effect on all Americans. So whatever "they" are "defending", it is not the daily quality of life for the majority of people in this country. The defense industry needs a wake up call, and an allowance cut. Then back to school, for lessons in overcoming an addiction to bullying.
