Let me correct myself.

The FY 2005 military budget is already over $511 billion. I forgot to include the $81.5 billion supplemental approved last week.

That is nearly 7.5 times the DOD budget the year before the draft ended.
And we have 1 million fewer men and women in uniform, more than 200 fewer Navy ships, and only 64% of the USAF aircraft.
