Looking at this pic, I advocate cutting the MIC spending by 2/3's.   That's about 400 million that can be put to way better use.

On the other hand, looking at total military personnel including reserves and paramilitary, the US has only the seventh largest military in the world.

The truth is somewhere in between.

I disagree.  I think that number of personnel is sufficient to defend the homeland.  As for the rest of the world and all of those overseas bases, obviously, I'd love nothing better than to have some economic/social collapse... if that's what it takes to destroy the MIC. Death to the Pentagram, death to the I-Spies, death to McStain, death to other congressional hawks,death to   President Humper .   [Now, that's what I consider true nationalism. Set our  government budget free of such stupid fucks who think it's still 1946.  Sorry, there is no industrial base -- that's been outsourced, there's also no domestic IT either.  So, do you think H1-B's really care about the US?  No, they don't, they all need to be shipped right back to India and all those India outsource companies need a huge slap in the face with stiff tariffs.  Oh, Qod, do I hate those job takers who , yeah, I admitted stole my job. I admit I have a bone to pick with those ne'er do wells.  So, let me say here, I don't care if Pakistan just nukes the fuck out of India.
People who fuck with my fundies need to just crawl into a hole and die, man.

You're not disagreeing with what I'm saying there, then; you just think it's fine to reduce our military capability because you don't think we need global power.  We still disagree, just not on military measurement metrics.

I agree with you on H1Bs, by the way.  Let's only take immigrant who want to become Americans, rather than those who only come here for the money.
