On a more serious note, have a read of this really good article at New York Review of Books about the ridiculousness of the American defence budget.
It starts with one anecdote - how many military bands of full time musicians do you think they have? Answer: 136, with 6,500 personnel, costing $500 million a year. (It also says the Pentagon has a 4.5 billion dollar "public affairs" budget.) A 2016 review ended up deciding the band should stay at current levels.
It also notes that the Army has been wanting to stop buying new tanks, as a basically obsolete platform, for years, but Congress doesn't listen. They have 6,000 of them anyway.
You know how they say that if America didn't have such a high imprisonment rate, its unemployment rate would be closer to other countries? I always wonder what the rate would be if it had a more normal sized defence force, too.
Its really the defence budget of international Judea. Look where the bombs are falling.
