One half Trillion + buys you 1,500,000 servicemen and women, Starwars, Boeing tankers, submarines,and high paid private army to guard the oil wells and Haliburton projects. But, is not enough to keep a small army of 150,000 in the field, provide them amunition and armor plating. Where is the outrage that we get no where near the value we are paying for?

Heaven forbid that we'd be called upon to wage a real war to actually protect our country. We'd be up shit creek.
