The rest of the world thinks you're silly

They already do pay for it through their taxes. Levying taxes for a military is defined in the Constitution as one of the legitimate powers of government. I don't remember our founders saying that a legitimate role of government was to force people to buy a service they may or may not want. Maybe I just have to read that again.

As Montmorency says, rescuing people from pirates near Somalia is not what the military is there for, this stuff costs extra and they're not sent there by the US government.

Nah, I care about things other than wars, but I will play along. Germany has waged many successful wars, such as its 'war on religion', its 'war on freedom', its 'war on privacy', and its 'war on decency'. When it comes to those things, you guys are conquering heroes.

Except for the war on religion you might want to explain those a bit more. Especially the second one I do not get considering our privacy protection laws are much stricter than those in the USA and the NSA is not exactly a German institution.
