Deborah Newell: She’s An American Girl

Money spent on weapons modernization is on par with the George W. Bush administration. The military cuts were approved by Republicans and Democrats. The military budget is being squeezed by the insistence of lawmakers in both parties that money be spent on bases and equipment that the Pentagon says it doesn't need. here

And the government spends roughly 1,000 times more on the armed forces than on Planned Parenthood.
