Comment from : Mac Ross

After 30 years in Military, the Pentagon could cut 25 and not notice if they actually control waste by senior leaders Cutting pork and pet projects

Missing the humor of your prior videos The balance of the research and information on the one hand and your humor (pointing out the ridiculous) was what had me watching and eventually subscribing Please don’t lose that part of your brand, Cappy

How about taking that foreign aid to support our veterans instead?
Comment from : Steve Just Saying

I think 5 to 10trillion would be perfect for the next 50 years
Comment from : Denton Anderson

I wouldn't be against changing the 3 GDP to 4 if it meant that extra 1 would go towards rocket defense systems to intercept nukes coming our way

Comment from : James Blake

6:17 'it's currently estimated that the iyearly cost/i of deploying an aircraft carrier on a typical deployment is upwards of $46m a year' from where did you pull this number? pretty sure the navy dreams of getting the byearly cost/b that low Nimitz aircraft carriers are nearer to $1bn/year and these enormous costs are the main reason for developing the new Gerald Ford class carrier

Use right map of india
Comment from : Rohan Rabade

Because they need $350 hammers and $700 toilet seats Not to mention, the new gear sent to dump sights to get the budget they had the year before
Comment from : David Buckspan

There are several programs that can that can be cut, the pay for elected officials needs to be cut, correct wasteful spending and cut the personal security of elected officials in half and ban tax paid vacations for elected officials and that will save hundreds of billions of dollars
Comment from : jj nix

I think spending on Militery is very essential Because we have to maintain power balance in this world
Comment from : Deepak

You forgot to mention that most of the money is given to private companies like Lockheed Martin and Boeing since we pay for overinflated prices
Comment from : Frederico Diogo

The USA needs to stop being the World's Policeman
Comment from : David Well

States don’t have permanent allies and don’t do much of joint research and development even manufacturing to bring the cost down Imagine US UK Australia Japan and many more friendly nations sharing cost
Comment from : Vikarp Raval

Yeah, you convinced me Oh, and the annual $ 23 trillion black budget?
Comment from : stealthhumor

It would be enough money if it wasn't for the american companies how build these weapons weren't f ing over the government charging 100 of thousands just for something as simple as nuts and bolts
Comment from : fredrico

@task and purpose Your GDP numbers are completely meaningless Of course countries that are surrounded by threats will have a higher percentage of GDP spent on military This is NOT the case for us as we are surrounded by strong allies and have massive distances between us and threats
Comment from : Nabster

Wouldn't it be great if military corporations didn't charge 45-167 profit?
Comment from : Marcusus

cool
Comment from : MidnightMike

10 countries combined not 9 There is no way almost 900 billion isn't enough Reduce billions in waste on the few almost monopolistic companies and you have your extra money right there Stop asking for money right now it's ridiculous
Comment from : Nabster

Chris, you are so great at explaining complex subjects in laymen's terms I am wildly against the NRA, so my first reaction is to recoil at gun sales commercials However, I'm against military weapons in the hands of private citizens, ammo included, and against mass shootings in the US, at a clip of more than one per day the past few years But your fantastic info and breakdown makes clear our defense strategy of deterrence through dominanace makes things so much clearer than political soundbites Thank God for our military, our servicemen and women, our charity, our research and development You're completely essential as an adult level education about our defence relative to the world Thank you

My man's really out here deflecting shots for the military industrial complex
Comment from : Intermaria

I work under the DoD The amount of waste and the amount of money wasted from pure incompetence at the middle leadership lvl is staggering

16:30 lmao as a European seeing that you only considered UK, Germany, and Italy to be Europe is slightly offensive and hilarious at the same time

How is 120 billion 1/4 of 797 billion?
Comment from : Tyler Leuschen

The United States could both cut our military budget and take better care of our troops/veterans if we stopped being imperialists
Comment from : Ayo Reef!!

Lol
Comment from : Chiller Whale

China has higher budget than US if you account for purchasing power They are only stopped by technology gap and corruption US has corruption too but it is less than China
Comment from : Alter Ego

The VA isn’t part of the defense budget…
Comment from : Greenstreet_Utes

The 62nd annual NDAA supports a total of $8579 billion in fiscal year 2023 funding for national defense Within this topline, the legislation authorizes $8167 billion for the Department of Defense (DOD) and $303 billion for national security programs within the Department of Energy (DOE) You're only off by a few billion And the main problem is paying 10k for a bolt that you and I would pay 2 dollars for Military contractors are just screwing over the US tax payer

Comment from : Enrique Landa F

I personally Think SO very much FED spending/funding Is just wasteful "spend it or loose it" applies to a lot of it but quite a bit is just wasted or put into pockets that are already so very deep, funded from tax payers even some state stuff like clear blatant abuse of powers should remove immunity from officers (only in clear authority abuse cases or the like Ideally) not to mention the retirement/health treatment some really crappy politicians get vs the ones soldiers and police get It saddens me to see many problems from long ago just getting worse
Comment from : SouthpawPablo

I feel like America just has a serious spending problem

3rd highest pay???? In australia our boys I believe are getting somewhere around 60k a year after training and before benefits
Comment from : Frankenstein’s Perentie, Western Australia

how much more defence budget the US is still need to win over China ? 8 trillion US$$, It's already the world biggest defence budget, the sum of the defence budget from 2nd to 10th ranking countries can't even match it ! It almost 3x of the Chinese budget, and it is still not enough? We suspect how did USA spent tax payers money??
Comment from : Angel Angel

We should have way more than 11 aircraft carriers and 68 nuclear subs
Comment from : O4TW

Just remember: redundancies are a good thing Also, war reporting to outright propaganda is also unquantifiable
Comment from : Reality Check

i think it would be enough if contractors were paid 5 dollars for a 5 dollar job instead of 100 dollars
Comment from : HamSAH

The pentagon has failed there audits 5 years in a row and “misplaces” billions of dollars a year The last thing we should do is give them more money who payed you to make this video?
Comment from : Jack Lobo

You see our massive defense budget is pretty satisfactory The CEO’s of the defense contractors just like to pocket the money themselves and overcharge the pentagon for things that should only cost a few dollars
Comment from : Tarsius

It's spend on expensive crappy equipment Which is so expensive that it take more than one third of budget to just maintain it
Comment from : Shaun

Our budget isn’t too small, our military is simply too large
Comment from : Rob Ryan

Cost too much for the Yanks to make the stuff In the '50s they finished military planes in a few years from plan to selling them Now it takes a few decades instead of years And similar cost difference!
Comment from : Justwantahover

fuck infrastructure, healthcare, education, and the country in general because the pentagon needs to steal more tax dollars! jesus christ we are a third world country with a gucci belt
Comment from : CageyBee

TROOPS TROOPS TROOPS Soldiers refers to the Army and ONLY the army There's Soldiers, Marines, airmen, sailors
Comment from : Kyle Howard

If united states stops sticking their nose in other countries business they wouldnt need such a big budget
Comment from : Daniel Reyes

If thre US wants to continue medling in other countries business 800 billion is not enough
Comment from : Daniel Reyes

Russians and Chinese always go on about the us spending too much on their military, yet are silent about foreign aid the us spends the most on foreign aid, while nations like china, russia, iran etc spend fuck all on foreign aid they can't claim the moral high ground
Comment from : joe clay

Wow! Great job!! I’ll have to sign up for the spicy membership ❤
Comment from : 562handsomemike

Offer Russian soldiers 1/2 million dollars and a US visa and you would probably win the war and spend less
Comment from : SuperJohn12354

The defense department is impossible to audit We havo no idea what they are doing with it all There is zero accountability, and this isn't going to change

Comment from : TheDesertShadow

When broken down like this it makes sense I’m still salty about the Taliban’s accusation of M4/M16s and other heavy equipment
Comment from : Richard Stone

Oh the era of Biggles is long over brbrThis article is quite erroneous: the US government seperates out veterans spending from current personal cost Yes, health care of military personnel coat money But that is not spending on former military personal on their health care This is stsndard Western government accountant practicesbrbrBut with 1200 thermonuclear devices in ready use The rest of the military are nuclear trip wires They are not thete to fight a war brbrMove on
Comment from : Russell Miles

I think you are myopic You are making a very limited, narrow argument that we should spend ourselves into oblivion, because it is needed It's been 30 years since I read The Rise & Fall of Great Power, in which they argue there is a lead-lag continuum in a great powers ability to project economic power, and military power In other words, a great powers decades long build up of a military, military commitments, geo political, 'world's policeman', infrastructure means that the country can project military might for a few decades after simple mathematics say they should Historically countries like this are forced to print their way out Welcome to Venezuela The military industrial complex, and military spending is the US's sacred cow Life is not zero sum, so there is no doubt the military does some very good things, many not quintessentially military But coupled with the simple unvarnished truth that Northrup Grumman, Boeing, Raytheon, etc etc are hosing America, with this penchant for tax cuts tax cuts tax cuts we are hurdling over the cliff, and youtuber after youtuber is explaining why the Titanic should have new deck chairs

Comment from : bcey aviation

I don't understand how drug addicts, people who don't want to work, or people who work under the table get food stamps and an E1 to E4 can't That should be like mandatory with the ridiculous amount they get paid to sacrifice for this country That should be by default
Comment from : Robi Adams

But here’s what China and Russia don’t have, here in USA we have 973 Genders ready to fight
Comment from : John

How is that that the US spends that much on the veteran housing and healthcare, and your veterans are still homeless and have little to no healthcare?
