$682 billion is the figure from the link in the o/p. I think it's a 2013 estimate if I recollect.

Like I said earlier in the thread, nothing wrong with a strong military - I'd like to see them more in the role of the world's firefighters as opposed to the world's police force, but that's the subject of another thread... like I said... nothing wrong with military investment per se, but replacing the arsenal that Bush and Obama have blown through for the sake of replacing it is short sighted.
