[QUOTE="Yaba Daba Do, post: 3588134, member: 57161"] If the worlds largest economy in the world didn't have the worlds most powerful military do you think other countries would just watch us from a distance with envy. In all of human existence there has never been a period where one group is not fighting another. If we were strong economically but weak militarily how long do you think it would be before china and russia want their piece of the pie? How long before Iran developed a nuclear weapon and used it? People think we could just stop funding the military and use the money for social programs. That might work for a short period of time but it wouldn't be very long before you would have to learn a new language. [/QUOTE]
