The budget of the Department of Defense is only a small part of what the United States spends on war. Add in the Department of Energy's portion for nuclear weapons, the Veteran's Administration, the "black budgets" for the CIA, NSA, and others, the accumulated interest on the national debt for various wars (declared and undeclared), and the costs of PTSD-wounded warriors shifted to the public. I don't have a number, but I imagine it's quite a sum.
- nickik 9y agoThe State department has become essentially a property managment arm for the DoD. Lots of 'War against Drug' money is used to support the wars. Lots of 'devlopment' aid is used to support war. Massive amount of money are given to Israel and Egypt that is essentially military spending. The list goes on.
