Here's what I know.....in 2008 the US spent 48% of the total worldwide expenditure on national defense. Europe was second with 20%...next China with 8%. This is money just pissed away...well beyond our needs. We have been sold a pig in a poke on how much we need to spend to defend ourselves and our national interests.
