And to your point about 50% being spent on war... you are greatly overestemating the cost of the wars that US are involved in.

Good point. Our entire military budget isn't even close to that, and a large percentage of the military budget has nothing to do with the current wars.

Total outlays are $2,387 billion. Iraq + Afganistan wars take up $161 billion. That is only 7% of the total budget. I'm not a fan of the Iraq war either, but it's best to know the facts before making major life decisions.
