I like to point out that OUR 5% of the world's population spends what the other 95% spends on ALL their militaries. It clearly highlights how distorted our spending is since the end of the Cold War. The military-industrial-government complex has just kept on drumming in the fear, confusion and doubt to a public that doesn't seem to have a clue. I imagine most of them probably would guess we spend twice what China does, but maybe one in a thousand would guess we spend ten times what China does on the military.
