First - The best way to insure peace is to prepare for war
Second - If we can convince North Korea, China, terrorists, etc, that killing us is a bad thing, then we can spend less
Third - $390 Billion out of a $2,229 Billion Federal Budget. That's 17% of the budget to defend the citizens. I think that's a fair amount. Defense IS one of the primary responsibilities of the ferderal government.
