That's strictly false. ~65% of the US budget is mandatory spending, and ~86% of that goes to things like social security, unemployment, Medicare, and so forth.

That's strictly false. ~65% of the US budget is mandatory spending, and ~86% of that goes to things like social security, unemployment, Medicare, and so forth. Military spending is priority #3 by share of the budget, not priority #1.
Even if this wasn't a falsehood, characterizing all military spending as "bombing brown people in the middle east" is ignorant, incendiary political flamebait.
