I've lived outside of the USA all my life so maybe I've avoided all the propaganda but I often see people online calling it 'the greatest country in the world.' I think its just the biggest military in the world. I can't think of anything it does better than anywhere else in the world. Anybody who disagrees give me an example and me or somebody else in the comments can show somewhere else where its done better.

God bless everywhere except the USA 🦅🇺🇸🩹🌭

@Soph03 It depends on whether you think technology has improved people's lives. While there are benefits to living as a hunter/gatherer, most of us would prefer our technological world.

Your question wasn't about value; many people would say that the U.S. military, while very effective, hasn't necessarily had a positive influence.

While our military is certainly the most expensive in the world, that's partially due to the fact that the U.S. is the third most populous country in the world, so anything we do is going to be big and expensive. If you go by percentage of GDP, our military spending is sixteenth, below Saudi Arabia, Israel, Oman, Morocco, and others.
