Everyone here's pretending like they don't understand that for a while the US military was a source of genuinely impressive technological innovations (RADAR, internet, etc). Whereas nowadays, I'm mostly aware of military contractors selling planes to the military that don't fly... For prices that make me wonder how those companies didn't get sued to oblivion. Do I have confidence that the military itself could defend the US? It's kind of a moot/meaningless point, but I think they probably would. Do I have confidence in the decisions they make or that those decisions are good for the US? No way José.
