North Korea, China (even though we are civil toward eachother most of the time).
Short list, I know.
The reason is because most of the people dumb enough to attack the most powerful coutry in the world are too dumb to own a coutry with set borders and a standing military.
Also, who here cried when Saddam died?
It may not seem like having a globally dominating military is important now that we have one.
Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot and, say china had military bases in every major city in america and we depended upon their forces spending their money to sustain the local economy...
because thats how it was in every port I ever hit in the Navy.
At any rate,
There are plenty of good reasons that a superpower should maintain ther status as such. Cutting military funding should come after minimizing the impact of the fed in a citizens daily life.
