This is one of the most ignorant comments I ' ve seen in a while , because the US has the military it does , its generally created a bit of global stability , obviously there are some instances of conflict , but generally this has been one of the most peaceful eras in history . If it weren ' t for the US , every single country , particularly those in Europe , would be spending a tremendous amount more on their military . However , because they ' re allies with the US , they know that if anything were to happen , they ' d have the backing of the largest military power the world has ever seen , so instead they can focus on putting that money toward their people , education , other social welfare type stuff . <| sep |> It was not a Black Friday deal . It wasn ' t going to be on sale , so I bought it outright . 60
