Why don't they improve their own country? They spend somewhere in the ballpark of 500 to 600 billion dollars annually.
Why not spend it on improving education, health care, social services etc... Wouldn't that be more beneficial?
Please don't tell me it's about defending freedom or any of that BS; that's just propaganda. War is about corporations making money and stealing other countries' natural resources.
This is the link on military budget:

The United States isn't any safer. In fact, interventions around the world have made the US even more unsafe.
Furthermore, the US has some of the highest incarceration and crime rates in the world.
It is not a "safe" country.
I'm glad a lot of you realize it is because of the Military Industrial Complex. It's pretty sad.
