10. Iran's "nukes" should be equal to that Red pie slice. Right?
Who pays for Israel's nukes? Are they included in the Red pie slice?

11. With all the talk about health care on this board tonight,
this chart reveals the obvious source of health care financing. Or one of them at least.

13. the enemy are not only fighting this war on the cheap, but they're also not taking it seriously.
Episode Forty-two: Light entertainment war
Monty Python Season 4

Stock film of a German bombing raid.
Voice Over But by then it was too late. The first cabbage crates hit London on July the 7th. That was just the beginning.
Cut to a Whitehall war office conference room. A general is on the phone. Four other generals sit there.
General Five shillings a dozen? That's ordinary cabbages, is it? And what about the bombs?... Good Lord, they are expensive.
A corporal rushes in.
Corporal Sir!
General Yes, what is it?
Corporal News from the Western Front, sir.
General Yes ... ?
Corporal Big enemy attack at dawn, sir ...
General Yes ... ?
Corporal Well, the enemy were all wearing little silver halos, sir ... and ... they had fairy wands with big stars on the end ... and ...
General They what ... ?
Corporal .. and ... they had spiders in matchboxes, sir.
General (in disbelief) Good God! How did our chaps react?
Corporal Well, they were jolly interested, sir. Some of them ... I think it was the 4th Armoured Brigade, sir, they ... well, they went and had a look at the spiders, sir.
General Oh my God! All right, thank you, Shirley.
A girl emerges from under the table. She is a blonde WAAF.
Corporal Sir!
General (to a sergeant) Get me the Prime Minister. (the sergeant opens the door, Churchill stands outside) Not that quickly! (the sergeant shuts the door) Gentlemen, it's now quite apparent that the enemy are not only fighting this war on the cheap, but they're also not taking it seriously.
Ageing General Bastards ...
General First they drop cabbages instead of decent bombs ...
Corporal The crates were probably quite expensive, sir.
General Quiet, critic! And now they're doing very silly things in one of the most vital areas of the war!
Ageing General What are we going to do, Shirley?
General Well, we've got to act fast before it saps morale. We're going to show these Chinese ...
Captain Germans, sir.
General These Germans ... we're going to show them that no British soldier will descend to their level. Anyone found trivialising this war will face the supreme penalty that military law can provide. (he holds a heroic pose; there is a pause during which we expect to cut; we don't; suddenly he breaks out of the pose into informality) That was all right, I think?
Captain (getting out drinks) Seemed to go quite well.

14. I'm surprised Jaoan is on it and Russia isn't
Russia has a large and extensive military
They are a leader in providing weapons to the rest of the world

Learn something new everyday

15. One thing the pie probably doesn't show
is that a chunk of Japan's expenditures goes to some of the operating costs of US bases in their country. IOW, our military is even beefier than our expenditures would indicate.
