    I've always wondered how you're supposed to "rebuild" something that was never destroyed in the first place.

    Or is having the largest military on the planet by a wide margin some people's idea of a military emergency?

    Defend themselves from what?

    The imaginary bogeymen concocted by politicians and war profiteers?

    The most expensive defense is the defense against imaginary bogey men

    The national guard and reserves are different from State (only) militias.

    No, the most expensive defense is the one you don't have when you find out there really are boogymen.

    If isis is a REAL bogey man
    What added protection would you see as a result of a significant increase in defense spending
