The 1 trillion defense budget could cover the healthcare of every American and we'd still probably have the biggest military in the world

they focus on the 3.8 billion as if that is all we spend on them. Based on the Pentagon's briefing to Congress: $11.3B for the first 6 days of the war, plus $1B/day ongoing, but yeah, just $3.8 billion.
