Ugh, a bunch of ignorant self-entitled teenage children at it again, thinking they know a damn thing about the world.

Yes, it's true that we have the largest defense budget. However, it's also true that the Military produces some of the most innovative and evolutionary technologies the world has ever known. Our ability to finance such research has literally changed the world in a variety of different ways. The Internet, which we are obviously all using, was originally created by the U.S. military.

However, it is not just our ability to produce technological results, but results that keep the world in a stable position. This ideology that the world is just filled with happy people that want to just prance around is absolutely ridiculous. The truth is that countries/people have been waging wars that result in the slaughter of their enemy since the beginning of our time. Our military is the prime factor for our balance. If they weren't around, the other nations would have taken what they believe to be there's. We are a violent race of people.

The only true way of keeping peace, is through strength. Whether you like it or not, it's a truth we must all come to terms with.

P.S. I actually know one of the first members from one of the original black ops divisions. The man has been in over 100 different countries. Killed 1000's of people. Why you may ask? Because at the end of the day, it preserves the peace of us first world nations. But hell, it's easy to make childish judgments from behind your computer in your cozy little room.

americans kill so many civilians and i bet your black ops friend killed a lot of innocent victems that are not terrorists
americans think you need to bomb a building even though there are civilians in their just because a wanted man went in there
and you kill so many wanted terrorists without a trial so some of them are also innocent

But it doesn't, if the USA hadn't assumed the role of the world's police, then there wouldn't be all this conflict, from people hating the USA for assuming the role of the World's police.

Joemand I don't think any of us are anti-military. We just think that the budget is a little bloated as it is and that we can't afford, with our debt, to keep funding it.

Friend of mine comes from a military family, has family members very high up. He says that although a lot of money goes into good things, there's absolutely no reason to keep dumping money in; our technology is also very far advanced over other countries, if we stopped funding it, it wouldn't be obsolete for a ******* long ass time

Yes, because without America and our military other nations would destroy each other beyond recognition, which was obviously what happened before America became a nation as we arose from nothing and repopulated the world. Just stop. THe only point you had that was coherent and made sense was the innovation and techonological advancement bit.

Read his comment, then back to mine. Back to his, back to mine. You realize i make a sarcastic comment about his apparent view of America being the only stopping the world from going into total anarchy. Now look at your comment, I'm on a rant.

I was totally with you about the military innovation thing, but later realized you had no idea what the **** you were talking about.

cool story bro
#7 to #4 - yunonomynameeh (10/15/2012) [-]
You are so full of **** , I'm surprised you're able to sit up long enough to type this crap. You don't know anyone from "the original black ops division", it's ******* pathetic when people go online claiming to know somebody.

We do not need a military large enough to take on the whole world at one time, this stupid redneck "murica!" attitude is disgusting, and I can't wait for you all to pass out of history like every other sect of past ignorance.

Real peace will never be achieved through fear.

real peace will never ever, ever, ever, be achieved. Its not possible. It wont happen in our lifetime, our children's lifetime, our children 1 Million generations down the line will not know peace.

Lol, I'm just going to skip all this other ******** that was written and just make it to this first comment of yours.

I can't think of one reason to lie about it. I'm not a 12 year-old troll. More importantly, I do not doubt this man's past. He has the attitude, the medals, the connections, etc.

Sure it sounds crazy, but to me it's not much considering the fact that I've known him for so long. Therefore, after all this being said I don't think there would be any reason for me to lie.

#87 to #84 - yunonomynameeh (10/16/2012) [-]
Oh, well if you say so -I guess it must be true. I mean, you're so intelligent that you resort to calling everyone with a different viewpoint a 12 year old troll -obviously you wouldn't lie on the internet about knowing someone you think makes you cool.
User avatar #93 to #87 - joemand (10/16/2012) [-]
...I was saying there would be no point in lieing as I'm not a 12 year-old troll...I wasn't calling anyone anything.

Yea so let's cut the **** out of the military so when someone does go to war with us we're unprepared. Good idea.
User avatar #96 to #25 - Crusader ONLINE (10/16/2012) [-]
You have more than enough arms that the USA could survive several wars before they started to run low on anything, excluding ammunition, because that stuff goes fast.
The US Army has entire bases, just parking lots full of tanks that are of no use, thousands of tanks, and the still produce more, there is such a massive surplus, that the USA could easily arm every man woman and child with North America with a single gun, and still have a surplus.

Hate to play devil's advocate, but many countries are simply looking for a reason to cut ties.
If there were to be a war between the USA and say Russia, many countries would join Russia purely because of spite, many nations simply want to bring the USA to it's knees.

Not really, a lot of the trouble in the world right now is due to the USA being this superpower and being the world's police.
The US economy is going down the tubes, and even more so is the world's image of the USA.
Instead of the scholarly, strong, charismatic soldier, they now see the leader who is out of touch with the people, the thug who doesn't think of anything more than his surroundings and the soldiers that are looking for things that are not there.

If a war starts between the USA and any other major power, I predict the USA may win, but it will be because of their own military stockpile, not do to overwhelming support.

It's called facts backing up my argument retard. It has studies that prove that cutting defense is not good for the country. Go ahead and keep acting like a retard tho.

Sorry your argument only works if the other side doesn't have facts on it's side. I guess you can ignore it but that doesn't exactly make you a winner now does it? No. Enjoy being stupid though.

With a military larger than the next15 largest spenders combined -how exactly are we "unprepared"? That article is ridiculous, and is exactly the kind of fear mongering this image is making fun of.
