You're mistaking "we" (the civilian population) with "we" (the wealthy who control the politicians). The second we is doing just fine spending 5% of your GDP on military. In fact it's one of the only things you still manufacture, that can't be outsourced.
They don't care about you, or the country. Just raise their taxes and see how fast they flee. That's how patriotic they are. While they expect a mother to give her 4 sons to fight for their interests...
It's just a money machine, powered by civilians, but not for civilians.
