America spends about $1 trillion a year on defense related purposes.

Don't forget New Orleans during Katrina.Originally Posted by Spektrewing386
at least they were being useful there.
eh... from I saw most of the time they were forcing their way into wealthy peoples homes and removing their weapons, in the midst of all the looting, and then asking them to be thankful for not going to jail. I guess they were keeping the order, but last time I checked people have a right to defend their homes and property. Even more so if their homes, and belongings didn't suffer much damage in the hurricane.
