Instead of looking at absolute numbers look at the spending as a percentage of GDP. This chart will give you a good idea of how military spending has trended since before WWII.

hail, oh lutherf!

mate, i hears what yer sayin', and appreciate the perspective ye have given me on our spendin' in relation to our GDP.

lemme asks ye though, be it fair to view our military spendin' this way?

1) our military spendin' as it relates to our current national debt and...

2) even if our GDP has risen, what of it? i mean, if i waste 50k per year 'o me monies goin' to the casino and i make 100k per year....and my income jumps to 130K per year and increase me spendin' at the casino to 60K per year....aren't i still spendin' more?
