I'm not sure why you're getting down voted for this.

A lot is an interesting question, especially given this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_...) which if you sort by percentage of GDP puts the US below Russia.

Is it that surprising that the country with far and away the highest GDP has the highest military spending in real dollars?
