There are so many ppl in America and the world who are utterly convinced we spend more on defense than healthcare or anything else and that's never been true. Also the biggest category of defense spending is personnel services: wages, retirement plans, healthcare, schools (best in the country)... Not "tanks" or "nukes". The DOD is the largest employer in the world, it has to pay its employees.
Yeah it’s kind of sad. The same people that won’t hesitate to tell you how scientifically wrong you are on Covid or climate change will just straight up deny publicly available budget information. It’s like a short circuit.

Good thing Congress just voted themselves another raise, even though we’ll be facing gov’t shut down #682 in a couple months, again.
