Only if you're quaint enough to consider defense spending to actually be about 'defense'. In the US it's mainly about transferring taxpayer dollars to the shareholders of defense industries. This is why we get things like the F35, which is ghastly over budget, and will never actually do what it is claimed it will do, but damned if the primary constractor hasn't managed to get some sort of subcontractor funded in 45 states, which makes it entirely unkillable, politically. <http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2012/04/26/the_jet_that_ate_the_pentagon> Of course as a 'loyal' ally, you guys are gonna get arm-twisted into buying some.
