Maybe you should make a list of "all our potential enemies combined" before you start charaterizing anything as "dwarfs"? Once you get some facts to back up your newest unsupported assertion maybe someone will take it seriously!

Maybe you can even come to grips with the reality that US military hegomony is probably the greatest stabilizing influence on the globe and has been for many a decade. Do you think the world would be as peaceful as it has been if there wasn't some "Big Stick" giving piss pot tyrants around the world pause?

Military spending is the price we pay for doing the business we do around the world, that's what pays your salary and lets you sleep safely at night. You think you'd have the life you live if you didn't have US military spending protecting and ensuring it?
