Us military budget x2

I would double the budget (inflation) and then use one third for cleaning operations...

Right now the American military budget is around $600 billion per year. However, even a 2x increase won't be enough if the next POTUS (Hillary Clinton ?) decides to launch a ground invasion of Iran. The Iraqi invasion cost the Americans somewhere around $2 trillion to $3 trillion. The total cost of an Iranian invasion will be 5x to 10x of that amount.

iran will be nuked. old munitions have to be shuffled, and the best way is live tests, from time 2 time. In accordance with georgia guide stone, no Farsi .

because effectively, it would be too costly, and nation building is now to be home based. .

From this numbers i feel dizzy in head. How much time needs to pass until we realize how much better things we could do with that money. And they will spent it on evil and bad things, and how much they spent in last 50 years? is there such big number eh ....

At this point that money is being used to ensure the continued existence of the u.s. dollar and it's stranglehold on foreign countries.  How many fake u.s. dollars would you spend to ensure the u.s. dollar continues to exist.

With a 600 billion dollar (accountable to NO ONE) Black Budget, What's the point of a commission?
