That is nonsense! It’s an entire system, with many parts that make up the whole. The nation is blessed, praise God, but all the spending is not the PRIMARY reason.
There are other nations that spend more, per service member, than the United States, and still other countries that require their citizens to give them a great deal more in taxes, for a host of reasons. Does that mean their lives and lifestyle are/is better than ours?
Still, our military got as good as it is not from dollars, but from people; sergeants, petty officers, captains, majors, commanders especially.
You may disagree, but then it would be very minority opinion.
“You may disagree, but then it would be very minority opinion.”
A vibrant private sector composed of free citizens paying taxes to a government that performs limited Constitutionally mandated duties is our model.
