They spend less than the US as a percentage of GDP, yes, but they don't spend zero: 2.5% or so vs our 4%. But who's to say they aren't right and we're wrong? Think about the cost of the Iraq and Afghan wars. Good investments?

Not allowing the Soviets to annex western europe in the 1960s. Good Investment?
