United States accounts for 40% of the worlds military spending.  I believe we spend more than the next 7 or 8 countries combined, and , yes, that includes China, Russia, and every other country on earth.

"Don't look at Haliburton getting $39 Billion in military contracts in Iraq.  Just think about people who buy soda with foodstamps."

  That's not a valid comparison on the face of it.  A company getting paid to do a job or supply a product is not the same as someone receiving something for nothing.
