A Trillion Dollar Military Budget?:

The president has sent Congress a proposed federal budget for fiscal year 2008 that would spend $967 billion on current military activities and past wars. That figure represents 44% of the federal funds budget and is $100 billion higher than the amount of money allocated for this year.

During Cold War, used to be 10 percent of GDP. Now, about 4 percent. You're correct it should be much higher.
