Yep, you have to employ a lot of people to maintain military occupations in an ever-growing list of countries. Clearly we should cut benefits.

- rgbrenner 8y agoWe could cut the size of the military... but simply making the observation that we have a large number of people doesn't explain anything. China's military is 2x the size of the US by number of people. It certainly doesn't follow that the richer and more valuable a country becomes (and therefore more expensive personnel), the smaller their military should be.
- orf 8y ago> China's military is 2x the size of the US by number of people. And yet china has ~4.5x the number of people as the US.
