Military Expenditure, by Country



The latest figure available in a published report (the US census for 2004, not newspaper and other reports) shows that the US military expenditure in 2003 was close to $400 billion. See: http://www.census.gov/prod/2004pubs/04statab/defense.pdf    but much more than that, currently.

The US certainly has the dubious distinction of being #1, but we cannot show the US military spending here on a bar chart. It would be quite literally off-the-chart.


US Spends more on the military than the next 19 countries combined, among the largest spenders. Source: The Telegraph, UK. "Defense Spending: The World's Biggest Armies in Stats."
