You mean in offence and grabbing other countries resources at gun point. True.
But it's beside the point. It's not like you are a nation of "spartans" that spend all they money in "defence" and live in relative poorness.
More like a nation of couch potatoes, which has relegated their defence to paid specialists (like in feudal times), and which spends more on pet food, Netflix and similar BS than they do in public works and infrastructure. Especially in areas where poor and/or black are living.
