Because it has a point, albeit not perfect. Wouldn't you rather the US not have a ridiculously big military budget and can divert spending to, say, education and healthcare?

Sure, it's great that the US arsenal can obliterate any country in the world should the political powers will it, but this is not the best version of the world, honestly. As you said, it's your money. Are you okay with it?

Yes? But this seems like a non sequitur.

You see, we will reduce our military budget by using more weapons. This makes sense in the liberal mind
