How Taxpayers Fund Fantasy Wars

Much like the automotive industry, the military industrial complex is full of useless war toys. Given our economic crisis, the estimated trillion dollars we spend each year on the military and its weaponry is simply unsustainable. Even if present fiscal constraints no longer existed, we would still have misspent too much of our tax revenues on too few, overly expensive, overly complex weapons systems that leave us ill-prepared to defend the country in a real military emergency. If America were to cut its military spending in half, we'd still be number one in the world in that catagory. Why dont they just play war video games and save us billiions.
