Re 89 Anyway you look at it, a bargain. Us DoD spending is approximately equal to the defense budget of the rest of the world combined. Either: - The US DoD is hugely inefficient, or - We have no friends. The way things are going, possibly both.

Both, IMO. There are inefficiencies, of course, lots of them. As for friends, nations have no friends, only interests. And it's in our security interest to be able to ensure our survival in an increasingly dangerous world.
