And how much defense is it buying? How much money goes to real combat units, Army battalions, Navy warships, Air Force fighters, and how much money goes to non combat things, defense contractors, administrators, lawyers, paper pushers, logistics, gold plate, and strange R&D projects. Like that giant laser in a 747 project that finally got cancelled after sucking down billions.
I suppose one could go thru the federal budget, which is probably on line these days, but I just lack the energy to wade thru 10,000 pages of gobble-de-gook. And the msm is too ignorant and too lazy to do it.
As it is, we know the US spends a lot on defense, and we have a huge military establishment, bigger than any other nation in the world. Yet to put troops into Iraq we had to call up reserves and put the active duty soldiers on repeated combat tours. And as soon as Obama pulled our troops out of Iraq, ISIS took over.
