My understanding is that we're not even at the 2% floor, I thought we were at 1.6% or somewhere thereabouts.
And I agree that our military could use an infusion of cash. I think that goes without saying.
However, I'm still not convinced that our military spending should be tied to GDP. Tying spending to a fluctuating number doesn't make sense to me. Thats not proper budgeting.
