First off the united states of america, is the superpower of the world. We have the best nuclear arsenal, a best military, and our technology is far superior to any country in the world. (Yes even Korea / China) The new advances in the United States technology would keep all planes, troops, and weapons up to date. Korea and Iran are almost third world countries, that cannot even feed there own people yet, they are trying to make a nuclear aresenal, that are no where near the superiority of the United States Nuclear arsenal. Russia would not put there entire nation on the line just to spite the u.s. China also would not put there country on the line, and countries teaming up against the U.S. is a false idea that the news wants you to beleive. If any country tried anything like a nuclear attack on our country (which would most likely not even make it to the United States) Bush would most definetly defend back elimating any country that stands a threat of a nuclear war.

A Pointlessly Large Military, Meaning Gobs of Money that could go to Something Better
Its not that large... look at China... they have the largest manned army in the world. Also nerdy, the whole money thing with females isn't really true nowadays. My stepmom who has a PHD, a degree in business, and a whole bunch of other shiz, settled for a publishing job and makes a shizload of cash. Bright side is i get free books.

Every missile launched is 1 million dollars more in debt. Out military costs far more to sustain.

actually no. Depends on what missle. Some just cost us 1k-2k to use. Plus who cares how much debt we have. Obviously hasn't detered us that we're over 7 trillion dollars in debt and our money is only backed by our word.

Are you really that stupid? After WWII, Japan wasn't even allowed to have it's own military!! It wasn't until 1994 (Might be wrong on th date) they were allowed to have a single soldier. They still only have about 50,000 soldiers (Not alot).
ADDITION:
China has, like, 1,000,000,000 soldiers (1 Billion)

Total number of soldiers means nothing unless you need to police an annexed protectorate like America in Iraq. To win an outright war, you need about 300 people and an ICBM or two.

It's just a larger country has more plausible resources to expend. That's why Canada's 70,000-man military won't be able to maintain any nukes 
Lol Cronus, the entire Chinese population is only slightly over a billion. About a million of them are official military servicemen, but technically, if you count the People's Armed Police and various militias, the number goes up to around 200 million.
