It costs 11 dollars to give a soldier a box of bubble gum.

[@David_Lloyd-Jones]

It costs me 12 x 87 cents = $8.44 = 13% sales tax = $9.54 for a box of chewing gum -- but that's at my local store. I dunno, maybe your soldier is abroad someplace. But I think you'll have to try a little harder to make any ground on the military waste front...

[@MassDynamic]

perhaps weapons should not be an industry. it should simply be maintained by the government purely for defense. when weapons are sold for profit, there's a strong incentive for those weapon manufacturers to incite a war somewhere. the longer the war, the more money they make. the military should be treated like healthcare; you want to keep costs as low as possible while maintaining it, keeping in mind the main purpose of the military, which is to protect the people.

[@sakshambhadoria9998]

The military industrial complex and its political affiliates are the major benefactors of the people's blood, livelihoods and future. The big business makes money like madness and leaders increase their stature by scoring brownie points and political scores. The great power nexus among the elites driving conflicts everywhere is an utter disgrace to humanity. Innocent civilians including women and children bear the brunt, sufferings and trauma of war. Families are displaced, lives are lost and horrors occur. Meanwhile, it starts the vicious cycle of never ending destruction, instability and violence.

@@pjacobsen1000 I think that we as humans have relied on our ability to adapt and accept whatever environment we find ourselves in throughout history.

If your country does not have a strong military and a decent military-industrial complex, one day you may wake up and learn that your country has been a part of historical Russia and Vlad is there to collect. 🤣 Seriously though, spending 3-4% of your GDP is not too much to ask especially in our current realities of Cold War 2.0. Preparation is the best prevention. Of course it would have been better if the tensions had melted and we grew to trust each other and build bridges but we live in a different timeline now. Sad but we are where we are. We cannot turn the time back, we gotta adapt to our reality and hope that in the future things will turn out for the better again. But it will take a few more decades for the pages of history to turn...
