Have NO PROBLEM with 1 on 5 of my tax dollars going for defense in this country
It's going to the defense of many other countries, not just ours.
The US has bases or military installations in 63 nations with over 250,000 troops abroad. There are over 700 installations not within the US borders. There are no telling how many more "secret or covert" sites we have.
Add the military to education and health care on things we spend more on than almost every other country on earth.

You can have only two ways. Politicians will redistribute wealth upward or downward. But if you think stop spending is an option. You are wrong. They will never do it...

Really?I didn't realize Russia and China were so transparent about their defense spending... 
How in the Holy Christ would anyone know how much those 2 countries spend?
As for overseas bases...some are used for forward deployment purposes not just the protection of that particular country.
700 full blown installations outside the US?
You are sure about that?
