Couldn't find apples, but found an orange.

Interesting, I would've expected US troops to be pretty uniformly activated across the US for wars percentage-wise, I didn't realize it was done like this

That shows where the biggest bases are located, not the soldiers state of origin or where they get deployed.

Yep. It's not an apple.

Ungrateful freeloaders. Fuck Europeans. Why do we subsidize the defense of wealthy First World nations that can easily afford it? And then they turn around and call us baby killing monsters.
USA out of NATO!

Why do we subsidize the defense of wealthy First World nations that can easily afford it?
I think the US would have a score of 4.2 using this metric, which means only six members of NATO (shown on this map) have a higher number: Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey, Norway, Finland, Estonia, and Lithuania. Spain, the Netherlands, and Czechia all have a score of half (2.1) or less.
If they expect our support: they should at least have a 4.0. To be honest, we should leave anyways, since the Cold War's been over for decades and Russia already owns Europe with its oil exports, so they really have no reason to invade. Maybe they'll screw up Ukraine, but why should Americans die for Ukraine?
And then they turn around and call us baby killing monsters.
And they're the ones pushing abortion...

The greeks use public jobs to fix thier high unemployment. They aren't necessarily trained well or equipped well, they are just collecting a check.

The US in comparison would have 4.2.
(1397800 soldiers / 333000000 people) * 1000

That 333,000,000 population number is far beyond suspicious.

I checked the 2020 census, their number is 332, 844, 178. Rounded up.

It's still suspicious. Seems to have settled there.
