See how that works? No reference, no value to the words.

Thank you! It bugs the hell out of me when people quote things like that and don't cite a source.
At any rate, yeah, military spending is nuts.
BUT, to reply to the original post comparing our military spending to that of China, I think that their Trillions go much further than our Trillions. Of course our military is probably still more advanced, but their wages and production costs etc. etc. yada yada is much, much cheaper than ours. So (hypothetically speaking) our one million might equal their $500,000 (probably not that big of a gap, but you get what I'm trying to say).
