You gotta start somewhere, and the extreme lack of proper education makes having this powerful military an existential crisis for humanity.

I'm not sure if you're aware, but the current education budget is like 75 billion and the current military budget is like 750 billion.
You just wanna equalize those? just... 2023 education budget 400 billion, 2023 military budget 400 billion?
you think that's a good idea?

I think it's an amazing idea.
Imagine the first real accounting for military spending in history. Seems like a really smart fking idea, tbh.

lol ok, say goodbye to NASA, that's just gone entirely...
We won't be able to afford any R&D, so we'll be stuck with the current level of technology for the rest of ever, provided we can even maintain what we have.
No new military vehicles of any kind can be made.
In fact, nothing at all will be done, because the entire defense budget will be spent on operations and maintenance, and personnel/retirement.

Yeah sure, all made up. The military budget is not well documented enough for you to make those claims. Just makes you anti-education, odd in a space sub..

You posted links with no commentary because the links don't really prove much, I assume.
