I honestly can't remember what the spending limits were. I've always been leery about saying that we need to set our limit as a given percentage of the GDP. I don't believe that either. I think our spending has to be determined by what our political requirements are, and you have to make political decisions as to what sort of a military you want and what it's capable of doing, and then you fund it. Whatever it costs, it costs.
People will talk about how we're only spending 1.1% of GDP today, whereas we were spending 1.3% before. Turkey's percentage of GDP spent on defence is much higher than that of the United States, but that doesn't tell you that Turkey's armed forces are more powerful than those of the United States. So I'm not really sure what that number measures.
