You know the military is composed of citizens right? Our largest spending category is Social Security at 22%, Medicare at 14%, and then there's Veterans Benefits at 6%. So most of the money spent is for the people. Defense is 13%.

Social security shouldn't count as spending at all, unless you are an actual accountant, and Veterans benefits ARE Defense spending to normal people. Which means that we spend 19% on so called 'defense', and it is our largest category of spending, far outstripping the next highest category of spending.

I'm so freaking glad I'm not normal.

I meant normal as opposed to accountant, but I see why you read it that way. Sorry about the misphrasing.
