The other inaccurate point of view I love to hear is how weak our military is.

The simple fact is that our relatively low taxes pay for technology that has the power for a 25-year-old kid to push a button and eliminate cities without ever being seen by a target.

If our military and our technology didn't exist, the world be in chaois. The socialist countries that hate our military would ulitmatly have to raise taxes on their citizens 10 - 25% just to play catch up and ultamately lose the tiny freedoms they enjoy.

You can hate the US and hate our military, but its very existence has kept most people in the world alive and enjoying their standard of living. Havng said that, I really dont listen to europeans give advice on how and when we should use it.
