USA's militärbudget för 2005 är 420 miljarder dollar. Cirka 2'700 miljarder kronor i dagens dollarkurs. Som jämförelse är sveriges statsbudget totalt sett på 738 miljarder svenska kronor.
Dock skall man tänka på att det är procenten som räknas,
Här var lite fakta iaf...
------------------------------------
The US military budget is almost as much as the rest of the world's.
The US military budget is more than 8 times larger than the Chinese budget,
the second largest spender.
The US military budget is more than 29 times as large as the combined spending of the seven “rogue” states (Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Sudan and Syria) who spent $14.4 billion.
It is more than the combined spending of the next twenty three nations.
The United States and its close allies account for some two thirds to three-quarters of all military spending, depending on who you count as close allies (typically NATO countries, Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan and South Korea)
The seven potential “enemies,” Russia, and China together spend $116.2 billion, 27.6% of the U.S. military budget.
