I love having fun with numbers as much as the next guy, but Byers really boggles the mind with this list. It's not as easy as just re-categorizing expenses, even if we could. The process for calculating military expenses is set by NATO, and if we try to re-categorize police or social program spending as "military" other countries are going to do it too. It might increase our military spending as a percentage of GDP a bit, but it's not going to move us up the rankings.
