(1,825 posts)Also, judging by the fact that we spend more on "defense" than all other nations combined, it is fair to say we are the most war loving nation out there by a huge margin.
Perhaps the two are related and should be taken together as evidence of severe social dysfunction.
---------------------------------
The above is the typical flotsam from the left.
The motto of the US Air Force is "Peace is our Profession". We spend more on defense so nobody in their right mind would challenge us. That's how we maintain peace. Our defense spending is not due to a love of war, but a love of peace.
The equating of defense spending and "loving war" is just a way to slander our defense spending by claiming it is ignoble, that it is "war loving". Again, we have the best military so that no other military power can challenge us militarily. Sneak attacks by sub-national groups are not what the military deters.
I'm proud that we have the best defense forces in the world.
