Also, does that 5 per cent include all the outside contractors employed by the military which are huge. Stats can say whatever you like.

Odds mean nothing but you still want to discuss the numbers? OK, the US isn't even CLOSE to spending the most money on its military when scaled to the size of its economy. Hell, the US debt isn't even close to being the highest relative to GDP. Its about half of Italy's and near the average for the G7.

The numbers just sound like so much because the US economy is huge compared to any other nation.
