re: The level of the GDP determines the affordability of the spending. No it doesn't. re: Our military is much smaller than it used to be despite Iraq and other situations like Afghanistan. Are you including the contractors whose functions used to be performed by military personnel? 100,000+ in Iraq. re: I think you don't support us being in Iraq, but do you support us not even having the capability to wage a campaign like Iraq should a situation come along that you feel would better justify war? Again, the contractors are a huge portion and are a "variable expense" only required when there is action. Also the expensive is a lot higher in an active war... ordinance, travel, higher war zone salaries... Iraq ain't military business as usual. re: Iraq is included. It is also apparently included in the charts judgeing by the level shown but the page doesn't explicitly say it is. Maybe, I'm not sure. It is treated as a separate budgetary item. And the on-going military "entitlements"?
