You are paying for it by your service, which only 1% of the population serves. I have nothing but respect for the military and those who serve. People need to stand behind the troops or in front of them. People sleep well at night because of the military and their sacrifice.
And logger, or fishermen, or oil rig workers, or drivers, who app work far more dangerous jobs, don't "sacrifice"
I sleep well at night because of a roofer who risked his life to fix a hole, not because the US spend an obscene amount of money on its military.
P.S the military isn't that dangerous. The largest killer is suicide, then transport accidents, then other accidents. Truckers are in a far more risky job, because of the danger of driving, and because of the sedantary lifestyle. Next time you see a trucker at the gas station remember to applaud him and thank him for his service.
don't forget the collateral damage caused by those troops. Americans might get to sleep well and eat well, but those yemeni weddings guests who got droned get neither.
