If we could somehow use the military to educate our youth, improve our health care system and create more jobs I would say that the percentage is fair.
(Well, the military could always just draft the unemployed so they can fight the wars, but there's something not quite ethical with that proposal).
And don't get me started on the table scraps tossed to "Science, Energy and Environment" or the irony that "Diplomacy and Needs Abroad" is 1/40th of our war spending.
