That's the part that the hawks forget. The war they've prepared for will be won with resources, not guns. A bigger military eats more. Ours eats more than twice as much as everyone else's put together. Any nation or group of nations would be fools to try and amass a similar force. Especially when they can just let us spend ourselves into oblivion.
