Hey Peter (aka Boots), you identify the military industrial complex as the worst spender of our tax dollars.  We asked you about your retired military friend, who identified excess spending in the military at 40%, to itemize those spending.  We are interested in reviewing those numbers.  Also, we know that our GDP is about $15 Trillion a year and military spending was $650 Billion in 2016 under Hawaii born ex-President Obama or some 4.3% of the GDP.  Also, VA spent in the same year $150 Billion.  Now, 40% of the military spending is some $260 Billion in savings.  I'm very interested in your friends numbers.
