Why on Earth do we need to have such a bloated military budget??

    we cant have 300,000,000 guns privately owned and not have an enormous big fat military!
    How else do we scare people into keeping gun manufacturers in business?

    Its really too much..

    A couple thoughts.

    We were still in both Iraq and Afghanistan at this time so that should definitely bloat it.

    That said, even though both wars are pretty much over, I don't see it declining which is the sad part.
