The yearlt federal tax revenue is roughly $2.2Trillion, now because of the recession. Normally closer to $2.5T Current annual military spending is roughly $600Billion (actually less due to recent cuts) and well over $800Billion for healthcare, rapidly approaching $1Trillion.
It is in fact projected to exceed $2Trillion annualy in the next few years, based on the sudden and rapid retirement of the baby-boomer population. Actually by 2020, so my fault. However, it is far too much to afford.
Our military spending is currently about 20% of yearly federal revenue at ~$600 billion/yr. Within that, $100 billion/yr was spent on both overseas conflicts.
Our total yearly federal revenue is ~$2.5 Trillion.
It is projected that in two years, our annual spending on medicare alone will approach $2 Trillion/yr. Yes, that's with a "T".
We don't have a revenue problem.... we have a healthcare spending problem.
@PatriotCondor You might want to state and research your sources. Our TAX Revenue is 2.5 trillion, not our total. Secondly, your projections are trying to say our healthcare cost will go up 500% in the next two years? Like I said, please link your sources.
Hey, listen up people. At least the sound of the explosion must be faked. When something explodes at such a distance to the microphone, the noise needs more time to travel than the light. So actually, you should see the explosion before you hear the sound. But in this video here the "bang" and the visual explosion happen exactly simultaneous. This is physically impossible. Thanks for your notice.
The javelin penetrated the turret and hull of the tank, (you can see the blue stream) but the explosion is faked. Not even a full load of ammo and fuel could destroy a tank like that, and they added the sound afterwards.
@xxxxxxxMETALLICA Abrams may have more expensive electronics and computers, but single abrams costs over twice as much as t-90 which is the newest russian tank, and even t-72 gun can penetrate abrams.
@SuperFinnish idk the Abrams has advanced steel and kevlar armor, i've seen on tv Abrams getting hit with multiple rpgs and mortars the shells bounce off, plus the Abrams has alot of crew friendly safety features in it, the t72 is a extremely cheap tank, the drivers have to e under 5'6 and they are very hard to drive, plus in the riots in Yugoslavia in 1991 protesters threw Molotovs into t72 engine intake and the tanks exploded,it all comes down 2 producing cheap tanks fast or quality products
@SuperFinnish plus if you can give me a vid or site explaining a t-72 shell penetrating a abrams, (im not trying to be a jerk, i just like to learn new things about war and military vehicles)
@xxxxxxxMETALLICA It has not been proven in combat since there hasnt been any encounter between m1 and t-72, but in theory if we trust the given numbers on armour and round penetration then yes t-72 could penetrate abrams armour.
@xxxxxxxMETALLICA I dont think the tanks iraqis had would qualify for an t-72, for 1. they had traditional steel armor 300mm max 2. no computers,night vision or gun stabilation 3. ammunition was old, poorly maintained and some tanks even had training rounds on them when they were abandoned by their crews. 4. crew training was nowhere near to that of ex. soviet states training 5. very few of them even had smoke dischargers on them. So they looked like t-72 but they were nowhere near the real one.
@SuperFinnish o ok, well it all comes down to training a well trained Abrams crew could tack alot more guys out then traditional Russian tankers, thats what the german did in ww2 they had less tanks but they had better training (but they still lost),anyway im not insulting Russians (encase you are a russian) i was just pointing out that i think the Abrams is the 2nd best tank in my opinion,no1 is the leopard,but you have to admit Russia's military power is not what it used 2 be but either is us
@xxxxxxxMETALLICA Im not Russian, but just looking at the price of one m1 abrams you can see that it must be better then t-90 for an example. but for the price for one abrams you could get 2 t-90s so that sort of makes up for some of the t-90s shortcomings.
Yes, the M1A2 abrams tank is considered the best in the world. Built by the United States, (owning 6000+, following next Egypt with 600) it has the ability to run on three different fuels. JT-08, kerosene and gasoline. It has a 1500 horsepower turbofan jet engine in the back for power, and pushes the tank to over 60-70mph. The main turret can pivot, technology introduced from the military to the civillian world long ago for fixing eyes with lasers when they did minuscule movements. Thus,
that is the reason why the United States tanks took out about 8 each of the Iraqi ground force tanks before they ran off. Moving at 70 miles an hour and getting perfect shots off is pretty darn good. And when they did get hit, the composite and explosive armor did its job :D
he probably hit the spawn and got 3 kills with that :P
its weird how we need more and more powerful weapons when less and less people are fighting in wars. I hope the world already realised that with potential to destroy the ground that they walk on they dont senselessly start blowing shit up again
I don't see how a flame war on nuking our enemies, Baghdad, Vietnam, the definition of the term, "jarhead," Hitler, and the USA's superiority of other nations relates to video showcasing America testing how much destruction and disarray a Javelin warhead can cause. If we were to nuke Iran, we would most likely be considered worse that Al-Qaeda and the Taliban put together. Why don't you rednecks have some empathy for the innocent Muslims. No, I am not a world peace activist, I am a PFC in Iran.
@Lukeyedwards, obviously your not to familiar with the differences between a battle LOST and giving up. Vietnam was given up by America because the US citizens highly disliked it and people were getting angry with Government. And if you are seriously gonna talk about Mogidishu then your obviously have no idea what your talking about. Of course you bring up a battle that was in a movie..you probably dont even know WHY we were there. America helps support freedom and there was a civil war going on
Ok man we get it there expensive. Air to Air missile the Aim-120 AMRAAM costs $700.000. Tomahawk TLAM costs $650.000. F-22 Raptor is $134 million. The New 737 AEW&C aircraft is $600 million. You get the idea.
my older bro is top gun in javalin missle hes gonna be on the history channel i think the show is mail call or there new show lock and load his name is ryan carr
The only thing that may or may not be true is the tank explosion part. I think they had high explosives in the tank to make it look sick. Ive seen so many anti-armor weapons hit but that looked hardcore.
the javelin comes in a a top down angle so it hits the weakest part of the tank so the explosion u saw could possibly be real due to hitting everything inside which includes ammo for a tank but they wouldnt hav it in the tank so u never know
Dude sound doesnt travel at 300k a second like light does. Thats why u see things especially loud things then you hear them later on. Whats so strange about the audio other then that? Were you expecting Britney Spears or something when he launched it?
I am NOT saying the video is entirely fake, obviously the video part looks genuine, and it COULD be a test. The audio part is strange though, and I've very well explained why.
I'm just reporting the fact. Maybe some people enjoy this kind of discussions more than "Hey look at that!" "Hey, freakin' awesome!", "Duuude, I want one for Xmas!" and stuff.
One javelin missle costs approximately 80,000$. I'd say it would be cheaper to fake the video than to fire one missle and destroy the tank which costs a lot more. Yet i am 100% sure it is not fake ; p
they gotta test it they film each test with a dozen cameras in every possible angle and the set up takes days they get all the data so 1 test can work for everybody who would need it
yeah you're right...the missile doesn't work...ask the Iraqi and Afganistan militia...neither does the JDAM-ER, or the SLAMMER, or the Hellfire II off a Tiger, even the MinuteMen were cardboard fakes...honestly, unless you're 12 fuck off dumbass...
Hey all. I am an officer in the Swedish army and I know that the missile in the movie is the American made Javelin. BTW you should all know that when companies make movies like this one, they usually fill the taget upp with explosives to make the explosion more effective. The Javelin uses a tandem shaped charge warhead like many other missiles and they do not create an explosion like the one in the movie. Heja Sverige ändå, men dom har faktiskt rätt!
AND this video is straight off Lockheed's missiles and fire control video page. I don't know why people are making claims so easily demonstrated incorrect.
are u guy stupid that is not a USA missile that is an Swedish made anti-tank missile stop to think that u are so grate many of the thing u juse in iraq is swedish stuff so stfu u don't even know the half of that anti-tank missile. stupis americans....
Your comment is quite revealing of your own lack of education. That is a Javelin and the proof is waiting for you at lockheed missiles and fire control web site on the videos page. This video is directly from their site and is a testing, not a warfare video.
Thats the FGM-148 Javelin. An AMERICAN made anti-tank guided missile. You probably got confused with Sweden being an operator of the javelin. About 10 other countries are operators of the javelin, but its origin is the USA.
ya ya i beg 10 bugs u hve never been in the army and u do not hve a passport. Means,u were never outside usa. That is not pretty cool.... You should, open your minds
I have read several books about the estern front, and Germany had most of its troops on the eastern front and suffered most of their casualties there, this is a fact not a delusion.
The germans even pulled troops from western europe and Italy and sent them to the eastern front even after american and british troops had landed in Europe.
You are ignoring the facts that the US supported the Russians, the British, and the French resistance (among others) with men and materiel AND were key to the defeat of the Germans in North Africa AND the Italians in Italy. As well as defeating Japan. Of course we could have waited and let them slaughter some more Russians, but we did not.
So you need to spend some more time in your history books.
Really because if i can recall every war we got in with you faggs over there we won. You cryed for America when Hilter was beating your ass. We dropped 1 bomb on Japan and make them white flag now how tuff is that WHITE FLAG! We won every war and only war we pulled out was Veitnam and will be this Iraq war because both where hoax wars. And we even beat the UKs ass in 1776 and we where farmers! And we can wipe out Europe with 1 Bomb in the matter of 1 day!
The American war of Independence. More Americans fought on the side of the British than the Americans! If it wasn't for the stupidity of Cornwallis and the timely intervention of the FRENCH, the isolationist Americans would have lost that one too! Come on Yanks! Read your history! You'll have to do better than this!
mogidishu wasnt a war it was a care mission then those damn niggers couldnt accept our hospitality and shot down a black hawk you know how many died 26 as compared to the 600 somalians vietnam we gave up cause of our liberal media and the kill death ratio in iraq is 13-1 and we got millions more men ready to go
@JuliusCeasar223 you're a fuckin intellectual uh? You gonna give somebody hospitality in their own house? American elite forces got their ass handed to em cause of their arrogance, mainly rangers jarheads. Same thing happened in Iraq but leadership never learn because "others are third world and not as intelligent as us."
really because last time i checked the k/d ratio was around 1-10 and the only way those cowardly bastards can kill anybody is by using ied's and its not hospitality hospitality is inviting someone into your home and tending to them we are giving favors also "jarheads" which are marines are not special forces and yes some people in third world countries arent as intellegent as us due to lack of education quit talking shit out your ass
in the military jarhead means empty head like yours and marines. IED is a part of the warfare you fight with what you have. You're right when you said that some people in 3rd world countries are aren't as intelligent as us but I'm sure they don't choose people as dumb as Palin to run their country. Look at you, racist buster trying to convince somebody with numbers that you know your shit. And there's no accurate body count downrange so go preach somewhere else or shut your cock holster.
wow you must be fucking retarded we didnt elect palin and "stop using numbers theyre hurting my stupid liberal brain" and its not "down range" as you say its fucking street to street in close combat im pretty sure you can count how many heads you see the backs blown out of each day your not even making a legitamite arguement your just refuting facts and saying "i know more than you because im liberal" and "youre racist"
That's a 14 years old type of argument. First "downrange" and "theater of operations" are the most used words in the military to name combat zone. street to street is not a military denomination of urban ops which is the right name for it. Probably you think a real combat zone is like MOW. Know your stuff before type all kinds of barbaric stuff on the tube.
im sorry i dont see how barbarianism relates to a flame war on youtube and in my opinion the geneva convention is fucking retarded war is war people are gonna die why not end it quikly instead of dragging it on for 8 years and what the fuck is MOW are you speaking of a videogame in that case its mw2 and no its nothing like that because one you cant kill someone from 200 yards away with a pistol nontheless only by using iron sights and people dont run around like chickens with their heads cut off
and this isnt even real war if this was REAL war the day after 9/11 a fleet of b-52 armed with dumb bombs wouldve blown baghdad into nothing more than a few standing walls and concrete dust, much like stalingrad of ww2
In case you didn't know we signed Geneva convention so we can't do that retarded stuff anymore it's a real war because there's a conventional military force fighting enemies on the ground.
Put something in your "jarhead". Jarhead = brainless, empty skull, dumb, for the last time I'm using the word as a figure of speech, I'll go back on call of duty you go back to school. I'm pretty sure you don't breathe more military than me so shush.
mogadishu we won, nicaragua(wtf?), iraq there is not a single iraqi terrorist standing except for the pussy ones who use remote active bombs to kill civillians, the middle east(and ur tellin us to read OUR history) doesnt exist, the seminole wars we won seeming that all native americans are either on regulated reservations or in our society as goes for red clouds war. read YOUR history before you start acting like a bigger dumbass
I don't know where all this bullshit about the Javelin being a Swedish missile is coming from, but it is that... Bullshit. The missile was conceived, spec'd, designed and built in the USA by a Raytheon/Lockheed Martin joint venture. So... either you are misinformed, or a liar. In any case your information is wrong.
that should have been recorded with a highspeed camera like the one they use in mythbusters =(

the sound is coming from the close range cam. your right though otherwise it wouldn't
redsmurf02 3 years ago
Uhm... This explanation doesn't sound too convincing, for two reasons:
- missile lift sounds immediate and clear, so that cam should be the filming one at the beginning;
- in addition to that, the explosion definitely sounds "far", with echo, this further decrease the possibility of a close cam recording.
I think something's strange.

yeah you're right...the missile doesn't work...ask the Iraqi and Afganistan militia...neither does the JDAM-ER, or the SLAMMER, or the Hellfire II off a Tiger, even the MinuteMen were cardboard fakes...honestly, unless you're 12 fuck off dumbass...

This isn't a hellfire. It is a Javelin. If you have any brains at all, look it up on lockheed's site and correct your information.
It is about as Swedish as I am.
IlSeFousDeTaGuele 4 years ago
Hey all. I am an officer in the Swedish army and I know that the missile in the movie is the American made Javelin. BTW you should all know that when companies make movies like this one, they usually fill the taget upp with explosives to make the explosion more effective. The Javelin uses a tandem shaped charge warhead like many other missiles and they do not create an explosion like the one in the movie. Heja Sverige ändå, men dom har faktiskt rätt!

AND this video is straight off Lockheed's missiles and fire control video page. I don't know why people are making claims so easily demonstrated incorrect.

are u guy stupid that is not a USA missile that is an Swedish made anti-tank missile stop to think that u are so grate many of the thing u juse in iraq is swedish stuff so stfu u don't even know the half of that anti-tank missile. stupis americans....

jimmyn89 4 years ago
Your comment is quite revealing of your own lack of education. That is a Javelin and the proof is waiting for you at lockheed missiles and fire control web site on the videos page. This video is directly from their site and is a testing, not a warfare video.
IlSeFousDeTaGuele 4 years ago
Thats the FGM-148 Javelin. An AMERICAN made anti-tank guided missile. You probably got confused with Sweden being an operator of the javelin. About 10 other countries are operators of the javelin, but its origin is the USA.

I would give you the bugs if you were close enough. And what you believe or think is meaningless.
The fact is it is a US missile, and your inferiority complex doesn't change the facts.

The german army had lost their chance of winning even before you landed in Europe.
jimmyn89 4 years ago
No question. Since I landed in Europe the first time in 1983 it was LONG since over. If you are speaking of WWII, then live with your delusions.
IlSeFousDeTaGuele 4 years ago
Yeah i was speking of WWII.
I have read several books about the estern front, and Germany had most of its troops on the eastern front and suffered most of their casualties there, this is a fact not a delusion.
The germans even pulled troops from western europe and Italy and sent them to the eastern front even after american and british troops had landed in Europe.
jimmyn89 4 years ago
You are ignoring the facts that the US supported the Russians, the British, and the French resistance (among others) with men and materiel AND were key to the defeat of the Germans in North Africa AND the Italians in Italy. As well as defeating Japan. Of course we could have waited and let them slaughter some more Russians, but we did not.
So you need to spend some more time in your history books.
IlSeFousDeTaGuele 4 years ago
"AND the Italians in Italy."
The italians couldnt do anything without help from the germans.
"the Germans in North Africa"
Hitler neglected the northern africa theater and focused to much on invading the USSR, this was one of his many misstakes in the war.
jimmyn89 4 years ago 2
Really because if i can recall every war we got in with you faggs over there we won. You cryed for America when Hilter was beating your ass. We dropped 1 bomb on Japan and make them white flag now how tuff is that WHITE FLAG! We won every war and only war we pulled out was Veitnam and will be this Iraq war because both where hoax wars. And we even beat the UKs ass in 1776 and we where farmers! And we can wipe out Europe with 1 Bomb in the matter of 1 day!

LOST:
Mogadishu
Vietnam
Nicaragua
Iraq (2nd)
The Middle East
the Seminole Wars I, II and III
Red Cloud's War.
The American war of Independence. More Americans fought on the side of the British than the Americans! If it wasn't for the stupidity of Cornwallis and the timely intervention of the FRENCH, the isolationist Americans would have lost that one too! Come on Yanks! Read your history! You'll have to do better than this!

MrRapedick 2 years ago
mogidishu wasnt a war it was a care mission then those damn niggers couldnt accept our hospitality and shot down a black hawk you know how many died 26 as compared to the 600 somalians vietnam we gave up cause of our liberal media and the kill death ratio in iraq is 13-1 and we got millions more men ready to go
JuliusCeasar223 2 years ago
@JuliusCeasar223 you're a fuckin intellectual uh? You gonna give somebody hospitality in their own house? American elite forces got their ass handed to em cause of their arrogance, mainly rangers jarheads. Same thing happened in Iraq but leadership never learn because "others are third world and not as intelligent as us."
R2C25 2 years ago
really because last time i checked the k/d ratio was around 1-10 and the only way those cowardly bastards can kill anybody is by using ied's and its not hospitality hospitality is inviting someone into your home and tending to them we are giving favors also "jarheads" which are marines are not special forces and yes some people in third world countries arent as intellegent as us due to lack of education quit talking shit out your ass
JuliusCeasar223 2 years ago
in the military jarhead means empty head like yours and marines. IED is a part of the warfare you fight with what you have. You're right when you said that some people in 3rd world countries are aren't as intelligent as us but I'm sure they don't choose people as dumb as Palin to run their country. Look at you, racist buster trying to convince somebody with numbers that you know your shit. And there's no accurate body count downrange so go preach somewhere else or shut your cock holster.
R2C25 2 years ago
wow you must be fucking retarded we didnt elect palin and "stop using numbers theyre hurting my stupid liberal brain" and its not "down range" as you say its fucking street to street in close combat im pretty sure you can count how many heads you see the backs blown out of each day your not even making a legitamite arguement your just refuting facts and saying "i know more than you because im liberal" and "youre racist"
JuliusCeasar223 2 years ago
That's a 14 years old type of argument. First "downrange" and "theater of operations" are the most used words in the military to name combat zone. street to street is not a military denomination of urban ops which is the right name for it. Probably you think a real combat zone is like MOW. Know your stuff before type all kinds of barbaric stuff on the tube.
R2C25 2 years ago
im sorry i dont see how barbarianism relates to a flame war on youtube and in my opinion the geneva convention is fucking retarded war is war people are gonna die why not end it quikly instead of dragging it on for 8 years and what the fuck is MOW are you speaking of a videogame in that case its mw2 and no its nothing like that because one you cant kill someone from 200 yards away with a pistol nontheless only by using iron sights and people dont run around like chickens with their heads cut off
JuliusCeasar223 2 years ago
and this isnt even real war if this was REAL war the day after 9/11 a fleet of b-52 armed with dumb bombs wouldve blown baghdad into nothing more than a few standing walls and concrete dust, much like stalingrad of ww2
JuliusCeasar223 2 years ago
In case you didn't know we signed Geneva convention so we can't do that retarded stuff anymore it's a real war because there's a conventional military force fighting enemies on the ground.
R2C25 2 years ago
jeah you contradicted 90% of what you said.
you expect people who eat sleep and breathe military to beleive your extreme amount of bullshit when you put "rangers jarheads" next to each other??

Put something in your "jarhead". Jarhead = brainless, empty skull, dumb, for the last time I'm using the word as a figure of speech, I'll go back on call of duty you go back to school. I'm pretty sure you don't breathe more military than me so shush.

I don't know where all this bullshit about the Javelin being a Swedish missile is coming from, but it is that... Bullshit. The missile was conceived, spec'd, designed and built in the USA by a Raytheon/Lockheed Martin joint venture. So... either you are misinformed, or a liar. In any case your information is wrong.
