MMena: There is a French proverb that say who want peace prepare for war. It is important for the USA to have a military to protect their citizen, the country and defend their economic interest around the world. the bad thing is when the USA use their power to invaded and ddestroyed countries who didnt attack them or didnt represent a threat to them.
If the USA didnt have a powerful military it probably would have been invaded and destroyed by Russia, a new Arab Caliphate and Mexico. The UUSA citizen would have been genocide like the Native American or enslaved for 500 years like AAfrican people. If West Africa had a powerful EEmpire like country and a powerful army like the USA West Africa would have become one of the most powerful country in the world today. If the Native American of North America had a powerful army they would have enslave the EEuropean immigrants and still be the owners of CCanada, USA and Mexico today. The Native Americans would have become the powerful presidents, CEOs, bankers, billionaires and scientists of the USA while the Europeans would have become the working class and middle class.
The only bad thing about the USA defense department is that they are spending to much money on their military. the USA spend $600 billion a year on their military while China the second most powerful economy in the world is spending $160 billion. The USA is spending $450 billion more then China. The Russian are only spending $50 billion on their army. A powerful army need a strong economy I think the UUSA should spent $400 billion on their military annually and spend the extra $200 billion on the inner city creating jobs, on hhealthcare and on social security payments.
The US spends almost $600 billion a year on its defense budget and has 19 aircraft carriers (including USS Carl Vinson)
The US still boasts the most powerful military in the world, dwarfing both Russia and China behind them, according to the new global rankings of armed forces around the world. The US spends almost $600 billion a year on its ddefence budget and has an 'available manpower' of 145,215,000. Russia, which came second in the rankings, spends less than $45 billion a year on defense while China forks out $161 billion annually according to military analytics website Global Firepower. The US spends almost $600 billion a year on its defense budget and has 19 aircraft carriers (including USS Carl Vinson) +2 The US spends almost $600 billion a year on its defense budget and has 19 aircraft carriers (including USS Carl Vinson) What's more, the US will see its defense spending increase under President Donald Trump, as he has proposed a $54 billion increase for the department. He said it will help 'demolish and destroy' ISIS, increase the number of ships in the US Navy fleet and build extra F-35 fighter jets to expand the Air Force. Trump's 10 per cent boost to the military will see cuts to non-defense spending at the State Department, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Environmental Protection Agency and dozens of other federal programs. The ranking of 106 nations was based on more than 50 factors and looked at each country's military budget, manpower and the amount of equipment it had. It also focused on the country's range of weaponry, logistical flexibility and natural resources, while NATO powers were given a slight boost because of the sharing of resources. +2 Nuclear stockpiles were taken into account but not recognized, in the figures compiled by Global Firepower. As well as its huge defense budget, the US has 19 aircraft/helicopter carriers, 5,884 tanks, 13,762 aircraft, a total naval strength of 415 and 1,400,000 active frontline personnel.

Aircraft carriers greatly enhance a country's overall military strength, as they allow nations to have mobile naval and air force bases. The figures for 'aircraft carriers' here also include 'helicopter carrier' vessels. Russia has only one aircraft carrier (the Soviet-built Admiral Kuznetsov), but 20,215 tanks, 3,794 aircraft and a naval strength of 352, with 766,055 active frontline personnel. It also hopes to build the 'biggest aircraft carrier in the world' to compete with the US, according to Russian state media. China has one aircraft carrier (the Soviet-era Liaoning), 6,457 tanks, 2,955 aircraft, 714 ships and 2,335,000 in the armed forces. Development of China's first domestically built aircraft carrier began in 2013 and construction in late 2015. It is expected to be formally commissioned before 2020, after sea trials and the arrival of its full air complement. The UK has the sixth most powerful military in the world, with an available manpower of 30 million, an active frontline personnel of 150,000, one helicopter carrier, 249 tanks, 856 aircraft and a total naval strength of 76.

In her manifesto pledge, Prime Minister Theresa May has said a Conservative government will increase defense spending above inflation every year of the next parliament, as well as meeting Nato's commitment to spend at least 2 per cent of GDP on defense. The UK is currently building two aircraft carriers, HMS Queen Elizabeth and Prince Of Wales. The current cost estimates for both carriers, as well as the Lockheed Martin F-35B jets that will fly off them, is $18.3 billion. Moment two Mustangs spin out and crash at car show in Arizona
Advertisement 0:46 North Korea - which has carried out two nuclear tests and dozens of missile launches since the beginning of last year in its quest to build a rocket capable of delivering an atomic warhead to the US mainland - is in 23rd place. It spends $7.5 billion on defense every year, but has no aircraft carriers. It has an available manpower of 13 million, with 700,000 active frontline personnel. The hermit state also has 5,025 tanks, 944 aircraft and a fleet of 967 ships. But despite having one of the largest submarine fleets in the world, most of its vessels are unusable. A third of North Korea's subs are noisy diesel-powered Romeos, which have been obsolete since 1961. These submarines have a weapons range of only four miles, whereas a modern US submarine can fire 150 miles. The figures have been released at a time when tensions between the US and North Korea have escalated to a level where the secretive state has threatened 'full scale' nuclear war. Earlier this year, in a display of military power, the US sent warships and an aircraft carrier group to the region to deter North Korea from carrying out another nuclear test. Washington has suggested military action could be on the table but Trump has softened his message more recently, saying he would be 'honored' to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un.

ALL of the modern niceties you use everyday came into existance because of the US's tremendously paranoid investment in it's military complex.
Microwave ovens, Lasers, Masers, Wireless, Material research, Genetics, GPS, Computers, The Internet, Drones, Solar Cell Tech, batteries, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, population control, and vaccines all derive from US DoD, DARPA, and other defense agency advanced research focused on the art of better methods of killing and controlling humans.
Computer companies such as INTEL Corporation exist because of their early funding by the military complex, and companies like APPLE exist because of Intel.
You can correctly state that the Eurobinos plan for advancing their civilization is all centered around it's military-centric world-view.
