"Carry our share?"
I'm sorry, is "each according to their ability" being applied to military spending, too, now?
Maybe the U.S. increased medical costs are part of a large and wealthy country "carrying its share," too. Ever think of that?
In either case, if that's your premise, than bitching about the increased spending is self-contradictory. You did see that, right?
If there's anything worse than being forced into the role of "world policeman" by nations that have "different priorities," it's being constantly derided for it by those same nations.
Do you have a list of WWII per-capita losses in combat for the Nordic States?
