The first thing you have to do is decide what the military SHOULD DO and WHAT WE SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR. I'm sure you have no idea how to answer either of those... And lacking that, you have no basis on earth to arbitrarily demand some number.

What anyone else spends, is wholly irrelevant.

Why bother commenting, someone looks like a fool and its not me.
Now zip up your pants and run along.

Of course you can't comment.

I doubt you have a freaking clue what to say to RELEVANT ideas concerning defense.

This, pretty much, and specifically too many politicians being held hostage to the interests of the military-industrial complex.
