this is just... dead wrong. like factually, you are wrong. FY 2021:

entitlements were $1.18T (social security) + $697B (medicare) + $537B (welfare) + $396B (unemployment) = $3.329T

military was $1.035T.

if it helps, 3.329 / 1.035 = 3.22. that number means we spent over 3 times as much on handouts.

so no, military spending is nowhere close to our handout spending. yeah it's inefficient and wasteful and i favor cutting it at least somewhat combined with efficiency improvements and focusing on spreading defense $ to make the market more competitive. but i get really fed up with people trying to "both sides" our handout and military spending every time someone brings up the cost of the former because they just aren't close.
