33. An just what is the

justification of this obscene level of military spending?

Our remaining enemy, the 'terrorists', have no navy, no air force and no organized military under arms. We don't have to "Fight them there so we don't have to fight them here." because they have no realistic means to get here. Also, terrorists exist in such small numbers that this military spending level is patently absurd. All this military spending amounts to is a huge subsidy for the already obscene wealthy and fear of the ghost of Soviet past.
