the US spends less on military spending as a percentage of annual GDP than it did during the Reagan years. And percetage wise, it spends FAR LESS than a nation like North Korea, or the former Baathist Iraq.

LOL! Wars aren't fought on a GDP basis. Iraq had to defend itself from the U.S. and Israel, so it had to spend more of their GDP to keep up.

The U.S. spends more on its military than the rest of the world combined.
