Oh but that's not a military problem per say as much as an American problem. Most countries in Europe have an army, and the bomb, but we don't do things that way.

I think it's important to separate the 2 debates, one is quite universal, while the second one is a contextual issue to solve.

Yes and no.

The military's responsibility is to defend the country. If they're buying fighter jets when they should be buying laptops then they are failing to do their duty.
