The Center for a New American Security calculates that, when adjusted for inflation, this military budget is 13 percent higher than at the peak of the Korean War, 33 percent higher than at the peak of the Vietnam War, 12 percent higher than at the peak of the Cold War and 64 percent higher than the Cold War average.

We’re on our way to becoming the most well-armed Third World nation on the planet.

Obama needs to go after the Defense Dept. budget with an ax. Until that happens, he isn’t serious about deficit reduction in my book.

Generally, you get what you pay for. This is an apples to oranges comparison. We field a technologically intensive force these days. That’s more expensive than the way we used to fight even twenty years ago, but it saves lives, and is more effective. To the extent that tax dollars are misspent on defense, the trail usually leads back to some Congressman’s district, or is non-defense spending larded into the defense budget to hide it.

At the beginning of the 20th Century, the U.S. Navy budget was 60% of the entire federal budget. I think we need to put things in perspective.
