Mind-blowing facts

High Military Expenditure in Some Places - Global Issues

Before I forget, the first color photographs were developed around 1906. I can't believe that early! George Eastman, founder of Kodak, committed suicide.

Ok, back to military spending.

The US spends about $400+ billion (not including wars, Homeland security) on Military.

This equals approximately HALF of the money in the world spent on defense.

To put it another way: the US spends as much on defense as the rest of the world COMBINED.

We spent 6 times as much as #2, Russia.

I guess we are the only superpower left.
