What I do not understand is why the US is the military for wealthy countries like Saudi Arabia.

ISIS is literally at their doorstep, Iran on the other side and their solution is to simply purchase a nuclear weapon instead of drafting an army.

And now we are somehow enslaved to re-invading Iraq for a fourth time when it falls again.

Meanwhile our entire infrastructure of roads and bridges will fail in the next generation because we dump all our money into the war machine black hole so that the contractors can extract profit from taxpayers.
