Why you are using the label "left" to discredit an opinion? And where is written that military budget has to be correlated to GDP? Do you mean that Thailand -which grew 4.9% this year must increase its military budget accordingly? US "defense" budget is another way of parachuting the economy. Lets say that the "defense" budget was justified with the dry "The Russians are coming". Now that there's no enemy to "defend" from, why the budget is justified? To bomb mountains in Afghanistan? Looking for weapons of mass destruction in a country that was -for the last ten years- forbidden to export oil for anything more than food or medicines?
