### Comment:
1. Agreed. 
  
 2. There are military spending issues relating to certain equipment procurement methods, but the majority are worth it I feel. 
  
 3. That's not what I said. I said compared to other spending. It's $584 Billion (2016) compared to the &gt; 67% of the $2.4 trillion spent on mandatory spending in the same year.

### REPLY:
fair enough 
  
 costing less isn't the same as barely costs anything compared to x. 
 barely costs implies the cost is nearly negligible.

### END.
