While that may be true it doesn't mean that the spending on the shindig in iran is where all that money goes, a large majority of it goes into salaries for soldiers and soldier benefits such as the GI bill and the VA, even if the care and salaries aren't very good there are millions of Americans getting their salary from the DOD or military directly.
