Which country has the most awesome military?

I have always been a huge military buff, but I hate the conflicts that the military enter. War is hell, and I remember when I went to the draft, I was placed in the Danish Navy (or whatever you want to call it).

It kind of made me think, back then. "Which country has the most awesome firepower?".. So I went and found out.

Number one is The United States army (naturally). The Pentagon is asking for $718 billion in its fiscal 2020 budget, a $33 billion or about 5 percent increase over what Congress enacted for fiscal 2019.

The $718 billion budget is comprised of a base budget of $544.5 billion, $9.2 billion for emergency border funding and $164 billion for overseas contingency operations funding, aka the war budget.

$718 billion on defense. That's a ton of money! Meanwhile, homeless people roam the streets of the US cities, and schools are falling apart. There's also the Flint, Michigan crisis, with the water there. They can't find the money to fix those issues, but sure, have $718 billion for defense.

But what do you really get for that kind of money? Well, part of the money, $8 billion, will go to establishing SPACE FORCE. (ridiculous name, but waddaya gonna do). $72.4 million will go to etablishing the headquarters, while the rest will go to.. Something.. Space ships, probably. I still don't get WHY the world needs a Space Force. Hopefully they will use Space Force for protection against comets and asteroids. Am I just the only one thinking that?

Anyway, the rest of the budget will probably go to new aircraft carriers, (even though the ones they have now will last long into the future), tanks, smaller ships, helicopters, fighter jets, guns, ammo, intelligence and much more.

Sidenote, the USS Nimitz, which is my favourite name EVER for an aircraft carrier, will be replaced in 2022. So three more years for that ship, until she's retired.

Here in Denmark, the budget is $3.8 billion, so it's a RIDICULOUS amount of money,
