How did they make advancements in tech that we didn't if we have all the brains?China's military contractors earn pennies compared to ours...in fact China has no contractors...they all work for the government...they have an advantage in that but we have the brains....that is why they spy on us....When they are spending half as much as we are, I will be concerned. We can afford at least a 25% cut or some people need to be jailed for fraud.I don't really care when it started it needs to stop...our enemy isn't forced to do it....do you want to avoid conflict or not?...we will not avoid it if the Chinese and the Russians think they can take us...Your link shows what we spent...not whether it was enough or not....and judging by reports of Obama era airmen stripping parts off one plane to fix another we were not spending enough....
We have always stripped parts off of one plane to keep another flying, that did not start under Obama. I spent 5 years with a Marine FA18 squadron and we always had a "hanger queen" that was the plane used for parts, that practice is as old as planes.
We do not have a shortage of money in our military ,we have misuse and mismanagement.

We should contract their developers and pay pennies on the dollar for better shit.
What this illustrates is that we have a bunch of unnecessary cronies getting unnecessary wads of cash for doing a bunch of jacking off.
