To be fair, a lot of that debt has come from foreign wars and veterans benefits. When you look holistically at defense/war spending and its follow-on effects, its far and away the largest outlay of the US budget across several generations. In fact, it's hard to think of anything at all over the last 100+ years that has been as well-funded as the US military-industrial complex, especially if you include nuclear and space spending.
