I never understand this view, and it's so demeaning and insulting to Israel to think this way.

Israel has hundreds of nuclear warheads, some of the most advanced technology and intelligence (The Mossad is even more ruthless than the CIA), and is stealing land while oppressing Palestinian people, keeping them in the largest open air prison on Earth.

How the HELL are they the 99 lb weakling?

Doesn't it seem a bit strange that we spend more on defense than the next 7-10 countries combined yet still feel threatened by third world turds?

In the end times an army of 200 million will invade it's about the numbers ...Everyone thinks China and Mao's quote but maybe it a Muslim army?
The Mullah's in Iran talk of "The Mahdi" the destruction of Israel and the US?
Iran is trying to provoke WW3 they are what is evil in this world...

we spend about the same as every other country as a percent of our GDP

just facts

our military spending is right in line with almost every country out there...france even spends MORE percentage of their GDP on their military

but when you guys talk about defense spending you want to use raw numbers...meanwhile less than 700 billion is the defense budget.....and if you look at % of GDP, we spend less (3.4%) than many other countries, france even spends MORE percentage of their GDP on their military, china spends 3.9% of its gdp on military.....france's defense budget is 500 million euro...while their gdp is about 1.4 trillion(((hmm....they spend a full third of their GDP on defense)))



half the budget is the pay and upgrading living conditions of the underpaid, under-appreciated soldiers,
if anything the pay and living conditions of the soldiers should be improved



why do the fascist liberals always want to cut their own throats ??

we cut the military nearly in half back in the 90's..then we find that when a conflict arises we have to ''build back up'' and 'modernize' because we had cut too far

we spend more on social programs than we do on the military



just HOW do you think military spending is out of control

we cut the military (strength) in half in the 90's

the ''''costs''' are PAYING our soldiers (which they are severely underpaid) and MAINTAINING equipment, barracks, etc





we ALREADY cut the military in half...from 1991-present...we literaly cut the military in half...and privatized the support branches that were military (food, supplies etc)....what it has done is left us WEAK (un able to have a sustained war on 2 fronts), and has been 10x more costly than having the cold war levels of military

what we need to do is get rid of the PRIVITIZATION, and BUILD the military,,, back to 1980's levels


your arguements will mean nothing without going after the clinton/gore privatization of the military

also UNDO the mess made by clintons Sec of Defense .William Perry, who 'reorganized' the reserves/national guard.(started by les aspin the previous Sec of Def).....this 'reorganization' removed all combat arms from the Army reserves and placed them in the National Guard.......thereby making it that during a combat operation like iraq, the National guard will be called up to go to theather instead of being left stateside to DEFEND the Country

what is your answer...not having a military???

The third world turds fight guerrilla warfare and the world's best armies suffer because they follow rules of engagement that puts them at a disadvantage. British soldier 'Marine A' is still languishing in a British prison.

Secondly, the third world turds believe if they die Allah will give them 72 virgins to shag eternally in Paradise.

Put those two together and the turds have an advantage.

I believe the military should exist for the defense of our country, NOT for lame-ass adventures in nation building and playing World Police.

BAH! I'll take air-superiority over that lame promise of 72 virgins anytime in a shooting war.

The US Government overthrew a democratically elected leader in Iran and put in a brutal Dictator, which set the stage for the religious extremism there since the '80s. We are doing pretty much the same in Iraq/Afghanistan. ISIS anyone?


Iran has never invaded another country the past few hundreds of years.
I wish I could say the same about The US, UK and Israel.

uhm...yemen
Iran's proxy war in Yemen just got exposed - Business Insider

syria:
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...KrKMPI4xJbNiRQ


iraq:who do you think the insurgents were



threatening an attack of afghanistan 1998:
CNN - Taliban threatens retaliation if Iran strikes - September 15, 1998


and others:
-Taking U.S. diplomats in Iran hostage (attack on the U.S.);

-U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut (attack on the U.S.);

-Hijacking on TWA flight and killing an American citizen through its agent Imad Moghniyeh (attack on the U.S.);

-Hijacking of Kuwait Airways (attack on Kuwait);

-Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia (attack on U.S. and Saudi);

-Jewish center bombing in Argentina (attack on Argentina);

-the latest terror plot in the U.S. (attack on Saudi Arabia and U.S.).

Lets not forget that Iran has been shelling Iraqi Kurdistan for six months, has been caught supplying arms to Syria, Africa in general, Yemen, Palestine, Iraq, Bahrain, Afghanistan, Pakistan to be used against those nations through their own quds Force, IRGC, Sadr's Madhi army, Hezbollah and Hamas.

If that isn't enough, how about the slaughter of their own citizens? They attack Kurds, Ahwazi's, Baluchi's, Baha'i, Azari's, Lurs, Christians, Jews, political oposition parties, journalists, etc, etc,,,.

and let's not forget: installing mines in straight of Hormuz back in 1988. A bunch of them arrested by U.S navy. The funny part was all those who were arrested red handed when they were installling mine on straight of hormuz, they were requesting political refugee visa from U.S. They didn't want to go back to Iran or work for mullahs.



sorry but the lie of "iran hasnt attacked anyone in hundreds of year'..is just that a lie
