When the number one industry of a country is the ability to invade countries and kill other nation's citizens, it tends to make other countries a bit nervous.

We spend six times more on our military than China does. But when China announces a new weapon system, we cry "international threat" and spend even more for "defense".

Wasn't one of the reasons the Soviet Union fell was because it choose to continue spending on more on military stuff when it really could not afford it?????
