Don't forget that much of that oft cited 2-billion a day is made up of regular operating costs of having an army. You could spend 2 billion a day on soldiers helping people in iraq, or you could be spending 2 billion a day to have them sit around bases in the U.S. drinking coffee and scrubbing toilets.
Let's try and avoid the skewed figures that are used to justify unjust criticism.
