2. Nuclear weapons act as a deterrent against invasions.
3. I don't know of any countries that can afford to invade Germany and Japan.

1. That is true, and how much is that costing America?
2. You already have plenty, that should be detterrent enough.
3. Can you then think of any countries that can afford to invade USA? If not then why not spend say just 30% less on the army?
