Why is this relevant to you?

With everything going on in society whether it be at home, or foreign relations with Iraq and North Korea, the United States is frequently on the verge of war. The United States spends more on the military than the next 5 highest spending countries combined and are rarely afraid to show it, making our commander in chief a very powerful man. On 4/23/13 North Korea insisted they be recognized as a nuclear weapons state, a demand the US dismissed as "neither realistic nor acceptable" . This occurred recently after North Korea made threats of nuclear war.
