combjelly,

I wasn't really trying to counter your argument, I was just trying to put it in perspective. The real relevance of military costs have got to include an adjusted figure for salaries, be they in currency or just subsidized support.

Good point. Another thing to consider is the fact that $$$ spent (whatever conversion mechanism is used) does not equal military strength. I am sure that a lot of the $300 billion US military budget is wasted, especially anything related to National Guard stinks IMO. At the same time, there may be areas in the military where we under-invest.
