While I originally envisioned limiting the discussion to military spending in the US, I see no reason other people from other countries can't talk about whether they approve of their government's use of their taxes.

While I certainly believe in a strong military as it is vital to the state, I don't see the need for such a gargantuan military budget the US boasts. So, the question I pose to all of you who argue that they don't like seeing the government spend their money... What about the hundreds of billions of dollars sunk into the military?
