i think its a very small percentage, only 62billion goes to healthcare in the defense budget. half goes to defense contractors, which is huge.

    I read it brings USA down under 3.5% of GDP but I'd love some better sources on that.

    i was mentioning the 62billion out of the 900billion/year. its seems very small if you think about how many service members(enlisted and officers) + thier families.

    Well that was the thing, they say defence contractors, but some of it goes to pensioins and healthcare.
