>>1283625People who say "just take it from the military budget lmao" often have no idea what it is spent on. The majority of defense spending goes into operations, logistics, and maintenance or into paying the troops themselves. We have security obligations all over the world and millions of troops. That is expensive. Telling defense nerds to "just spend less on defense lol" is like me telling you "just take a car lol you dont need trains". We'd love to spend less on defense, believe me. Unfortunately our allies do that for us.
