Id lump benefits for veterans as part of the military.

As well as the expenses of WIC for military families, since they don't get paid enough.

Don't confuse government spending and GDP (like I did at first). This is the government budget, which is a fraction of the whole GDP, since taxes aren't nearly 100%.

I suspect you're both right, although it's closer to 4% of GDP IIRC.
