Well, we do spend a lot, but here’s an interesting link as to percent of GDP, share of overall, etc.

List of countries by military expenditure

But overall, I agree - we should be looking for ways to save wherever feasible (without endangering legitimate defense needs).

Why isn’t Israel on that list?

Don’t many countries depend on a strong U.S. military to protect them, and therefore don’t spend as much on their own military?
