Top News- Pentagon Big Winner in Bush Budget Plan - AOL News

Top News- Pentagon Big Winner in Bush Budget Plan - AOL News: "The Pentagon, which also consumes one-sixth of the overall budget, would get a whopping 11 percent increase, to $481.4 billion in its core budget. And that is before accounting for an additional $235 billion in war costs over the next year and a half. "

11 Percent Increase-WOW.

That is way over 1/6 of the total federal budget. We'll have to see what this means for military transformation. Somehow, I am reminded of the Grand Armada of 1588 that wreaked Spain. What are we getting for this?
