COMMENTARY

The US spends more money on its military than any other country in the world and Israel spends the highest money on its military per capita.

Comparatively to its size, Macedonia spends a lot of money on military, partly due to the modernization of all sectors in the army and air force, and the money spent on peacekeeping missions in Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

Wonder how much the U.S. spends funding the military of other countries? Turkey, Colombia, Egypt and Israel come to mind.
