>while they make a shit-ton of simple weapons they can throw downrange.

You'll get no argument from me there. It's completely retarded to be throwing *all* our military budget into "stealth fighters" and nothing into the revamping of the F-18. Or the B-52. Hell, they even want to retire the A-10 within 5 or so years now to be replaced by the F-35. Worst decision the military's made recently, and that's saying something.

> To make a first world military, a country must have the things (reliable infrastructure, advanced machining capabilities, euro/asian workers, euro/asian soldiers) which make it a first world country.

Not necessarily. You can just throw as much of your national budget towards the military as possible while your people live a peasant subsistence lifestyle in a stagnant, crummy economy. Soviet russia was the greatest example of this and they haven't exactly improved by leaps and bounds since the soviet union fell.
