Johnny Harris, a popular YouTuber with nearly 6 million subscribers, published a video on Thursday that sought to answer an enormous question: “Why does the U.S. spend so much on its military”? He answers that question in extreme detail and ultimately arrives at uncovering why, in large part, the Pentagon budget is so high: the corrupt process of how lawmakers and big defense contractors and their lobbyists are all on the take. The first half of Harris’s deep, 28 minute long dive into the U.S. military budget focuses on what the Pentagon is actually paying for, things like troops’ salaries and health care, operations and maintenance, bases, construction, and research and development. He notes that the Defense Department is so big and complex, it has never been able to pass a financial audit.

“The U.S. is not a normal country with a regular military,” Harris says, by way of offering a kind of explanation as to why the Pentagon spends so much on all these things. “The U.S. is a global hegemon who uses its military to assert control and order over every corner of the globe,” he adds, in effect, flagging American primacy as a culprit.

“But there’s another reason why this budget is so high and this reason is much more infuriating to me,” Harris says. ”Most of this money is going to private corporations."


Poster Comment:

The US spends more than $1.5 trillion on the military according to the Congressional Budget Office if you count the other 6 agencies that spend on the military such as, Veterans Affairs and the Dept of Energy. The latter covers a lot of their nuclear weapons. The Houthis were given an Iranian Mach 14 missile. They copied in their basement and produced a Mach 10 missile which they used to strike Israel in protest of Genocide in Gaza.

Dr Mark Skidmore discovered that using government sources that $17 trillion had gone missing from the DOD and HUD budgets between 1998 and 2015. The US cannot build a Mach 10 missile that the Houthis are making in their basements.
