We need a real apple to apples comparison on our defense spending or we're the freaking Klingons!

I would love for some think tank to do a REAL apples to apple comparison of our spending compared to the rest of the world.

We're spending money on defense like we're freaking Klingons...We don't embrace other cultures we conquer them!

That's a joke guys.  Chill the fuck out!

But seriously.  How much are we spending apples to apples compared to the rest of the world?

If this IS AN ACTUAL comparison then we're stark raving mad!  Additionally how can we get such a small return on such MASSIVE spending?  I mean seriously!  We should dwarf the rest of the planet by magnitudes.

Even worse is the thought of where we could spend that money to create a better society here at home.  I'm a defense hawk but damn it this is insanity!
