U.S. military spendings VS. U.S. foreign aid

[7even]

so we give the most money total and we have the best military. we can help countries adequatly on both fronts, don't see the problem with that

talking about helping countries with bombing and killing them, I could choke every time I hear retarded shit like this.

....not really the time to bring up we help people military argument, when we've bombed about 15,000 iraqi civillians.

but it is true....if you take out the iraqi "freedom" part.  We have gone in and helped many many countries from a military standpoint and with the exception of iraq, i think we have done a good job.

7even before you put down our military think of it this way. What if a country were to attack another. One country being evil and the other being helpless like most countries are. What if yet again a dictator were to try and take over parts of the world.

Now please tell me, which countries would have a strong enough military to actually help defend countries if these scenarios were to happen. I will guarantee you America would be the very first military force to help out, and they would be sending massive numbers of troops and supplies.

But take america out of the picture and tell me what other countries have such a strong military presence that they could actually help.

^^ U.K., France, Japan., Australia, probably more.
So you defend using $400 bill on war, that's your standpoint. ?

I dont know about you but i would much rather have america defend my country (if i lived somewhere else) then those countries you listed. And i do defend the money that my country spends on our military. From where i stand, i believe in having a powerful military. And in having a strong military there are obligations to having it, like defending countries that may need defending. What i dont defend is when they use our military power for the wrong reasons like the war in iraq.

shame is, that actually right now the USA is the "evil country" and Iraq the "helpless" one.

japan doesn't have full control over it's military....it has to answer to the united states 

and send france over to help the "evil army" maybe surrendering would catch on

Only in Iraq.. everybody has to answer to U.S. in Iraq because they're in charge of the war, and a bunch of U.N. nations help them out..

no being stationed in Japan i know all of the japanese messages go through us. they have to let the U.S. know whenever they plan anything with their military

[Jome]

Oh, scratch Japan off the list then..
The point is though, that many countries have strong or decent militaries, but most of them never need to show it off..

Show it off?

What does that even mean?

You are quickly moving into territory you don't know about jome...

I guess the six nuclear tests in 1995 that the French conducted in the South Pacific weren't Showing off?
I guess the fact that russia had one of it's largest military drills in 15 years last august isn't showing off?
What about the German troops in Afghanistan?
What about the UK troops in Iraq?

Or "need to use it", however you'd like to put it..
Lol at using tests/drills as a example..

Boy, do I know about this..
Russia is in war with Tsjetsjenian forces/guerilla, Germany have troops in Iraq, Australia have troops in Iraq, U.K. have troops in Iraq, Norway had troops in Iraq, Spain had troops in Iraq, etc.
It's not like ANY of these countries are using their full or even half of their military forces.. it's more like companies/troops.
But they send forces to help out U.S. when requested by U.N., without these countries in Iraq, U.S. would have been in deeper horse shit than they are in Iraq now, even though it's not looking good at all.
