We’re spending just $664 per person on defense while our peers are shelling out $839—don’t tell me that’s enough when we’re 21% below the pack! If we’re serious about protecting this country, we should be at least $830 per person like the rest of the world, not scraping by on peanuts while others keep their people safe.
