Yep. There is so much money in play that now the military has become a "too big to fail" kind of thing.
If people complain about spending too much money on the military then they close a base others will complain that now there are huge numbers of people without jobs.
I believe we can have a streamlined, highly effective military without having to spend 25% of the budget on it.
The biggest, best military in the world does you no good if your country collapses under the weight of supporting it.
