Fun Fact: Saudi Arabia Takes #1 spot in Military Spending (based on GDP)

Great observation my friend

They are definitely gearing up for something, 1SG. Thank you for contributing.

I think only half the country is optimistic about it the Iran Deal

I don't think it is even close to half the country, Cpl Julio Rosa

Cpl Julio Rosa - 1SG (Join to see) - I doubt that even a single member of the Obama Administration is "optimistic" about the Iran Nuke Deal. Unless they are only hoping that nothing will happen until Obama is out of office. Now I'm optimistic about that.

MSgt James Mullis, there has to be somebody significant in the Obama Administration is optimistic, or it wouldn't have happened.
I think that it will go down in history as significant, one way or the other. Either it will be a tremendous failure that allows space and time for Iran to build hegemony and become a dominant regional power, or it will lead to major conflict when we or the Israelis or maybe the Saudis decide that a nuclear Iran is imminent or just emerging, or it will lead to a genuine rapproachment and potentially a less adversarial relationship.
I am not betting on the latter.

I would start with taking a look at our fraud, waste, and, abuse of funds. When I was active the general rule was that when the end of the fiscal year came by, everyone was told to start spending all of the money in our budget so that we can get more money for the new fiscal year. The thought was this: "we spent all of our money, which means we need more money next year in order to be functional" HUGE load of crap because we would spend the rest of our money on things we didn't need in the first place. That is only one small example. I've seen financial atrocities.
