I'd also like to point out that our military now is well above historical levels... as late as 1914 our Army was a little over 100,000 strong... making us less of a land based power than Bulgaria... and when we left WWII we demobilized our Army to a fraction of what it is today power-wise. It wasn't until the Korean war forced us to recognize that our commitments in the post-war world were greater than before that we actually brought our Army up from the absolute minimum necessary for occupation duties and home defense.
