that is the last thing we should do... the us defense spending most of the cost it not world distroyers(that is not much use). most of it is abount giving us better weapons and gear so that more of our troops come back home when they go to war. if you look at the numbers it does show. last few wars that we have foght have been low on death.. by war standers. (and our side even more so)
lots of those money go to darpa to make try out mad ideas that some times work.. look at they exoskieltons they are making now. (when that works out we will have walking tanks)
also defense is on of those things everyone says the us govrment should have there hand it.
