At first, I was going to say it's tiny relative to the overall DoD budget... but if true, it's actually pretty ridiculous: - 0.5% of the US federal budget overall (including entitlement programs) - 3-4% of the overall defense budget - More than 2x the budget of the FBI - ~40% of the Homeland Security budget ($47B) - Rather close to the budget allocation for the Marine Corp ($29B) (though there might technically be some overlap there) If that's for 2 wars in 2 countries, what's government's total air conditioning bill? Our soldiers deserve it, but there's gotta be a better way.
