Doesn’t say much for what has happened to many of the military’s of NATO in the last 20 years, does it.

How many still refuse to spend the required 2% of GDP on their militaries, that is required by the NATO charter?

There are probably small towns in the US that are as well armed as some NATO countries...

I can't recall how many times I've argued with Europeans who smugly told me "America is so backwards, you guys spend so much on your military. You must collectively enjoy killing people. Back in Europe we prefer to spend our money on comfortable jails and "free" college."

Well, now they can suck it. Our military could so easily sock the Russians if they tried to expand westward, but I'd rather watch the Europeans squeal in horror as the reds steamroll them.
