Just curious. How much of other countries military budget is funded by USA? I know we give $$$$ to some countries for defense spending. Just curious.

SGT (Join to see) - According to that site:

Foreign Military spending (US Aide to Foreign Military) is greater than $5.6 Billion per year.

Vietnam (Socialist Country some may remember the Vietnam Conflict) $10M per year.
Bahrain (Oil Conglomerate) $7.5M @yr
Egypt $1.3B @yr
Israel (great ally, bad enemy) $3.1B @yr
Jordon (Didn't we have air strikes there?) $300M @yr
Pakistan (Remember Bin Laden?) $280M @yr

Guess you know where a lot of our tax dollars go. This is not Humane effort mind you, this is in aide of THEIR military. Humane/relief funds are totally separate.

Still trust our Congress to do what is right for us?
