This film takes an objective view of military spending around the world. Can the US afford to keep expanding their military presence in foreign countries? Japan, Italy, Iraq and many others are saturated with US bases and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The documentary gives insight into why the US deficit is over $16 Trillion!!!! and growing. Even Nobel Peace Prize, Barack Obama increased the military budget as soon as he was elected! Gore Vidal RIP "Perpetual war for perpetual peace has been the American dream. Once we were launched upon Empire we would never go back." Cathrine Lutz "When soldiers come, war comes." Noam Chomsky "Bases are the Empire. They're the point of projection of power and the expansion of power."
