Its forced because we are forced to believe its a necessity when it really isnt.
A military is most certainly necessary. Now there is room to argue what size and scope.

This doesn't make a fricking bit of sense. They're compensated for long hours, being away from families, and for some getting shot at, blown up, etc.
And again, your "only the poor enlist" theme is utter and complete bullshite.

There's no need to exert emotional energy on someone who is either young and dumb or reliving the glory days of Vietnam protesting.

The military from WW2 is different than the ones we have now. We no longer need humans to do the fighting.
You are misunderstanding my opinion: I am not saying the people are bad, its that the government shouldnt entitle them to funds to do its dirty work.
In reality, its the governments fault.

Military is forced welfare. Most people who had alternative options choose not to go into military. Its the government's way to subsidize the less fortunate without calling it welfare but we know the truth.
Or because they join the military because they love this country and love the American people, and want to protect the free world. They want to protect ignorant people like you, so the first amendment stands strong. They do this so innocent lives, like the 9/11 victims (rest in peace), don't get murdered by some a-hole who hates freedom. They do this because they love every American citizen and legal alien in this country and will protect them to the end. It's not a welfare system you are out of your mind. Without the military we wouldn't be able to have this conversation today. They give up their freedoms so you can have your freedoms. What do you give up for them?

9/11 was done by saudis and one user told me its ok not to have war with them because they provide oil

Fareplay opines military spending is too high.
Fareplay advocates mechanizing entire military.
Checks out.

That would be a more expensive type of war. Assuming you mean more drones and chemical warfare.

Ya, no. That becomes a straight up welfare program at that point. A pure transfer of wealth from one group to another.

The military is far outweighed by the welfare state in this country.
Medicare, social security, Medicaid, make up the bulk of US spending

It was done by al queda who is funded by the saudis (why trump wants to ban them). We went to war with those terrorist groups. Why the govt didn't do anything to the saudis is beyond my comprehension. That's not the military's fault though. They did their job ensuring your freedom.

The problem is WHY is the defense budget so big? That is the lynch pin for the rest of the federal budget.

The military spending is more than SS. It's Medicare Medicaid military spending then SS

A bloated and completely dysfunctional acquisition process that is rife with abuse from defense contractors.
Also, a US government that likes to use the military as an easy button in global affairs.
