  Sorry diver, but "entitlements" vary by discussion. As indicated, we're 9th overall, including both earned and unearned, yet so far ahead of everyone else in military spending it's difficult to even see second place. 
  Cut SS or medicare, and you hurt real people. Federal pensions, same result. Maintain the world's most professional defensive force only, and you force others to pick up the slack.
