A trillion a year, whole economy based on neverending warfare and that's the best they can do?

That's just it, it's not.

It's a whole economy based on the threat of neverending warfare.

An actual war, where they aren't just stomping on something from a great height, that is short term benefit compared to selling them the re-up every cycle, "just in case"

Military keeping up with the Joneses.
