(Sadly, my actual chronological physiological age, along with my BAC, drives me to say g'night, folks! What I wanna know is, does anybody have any postable pics of Bear crewmen mooning US aviators?

It is entirely separate. Also excluded from the DoD budget are our nuclear weapons production and maintenance (DoE), Homeland Security, and the "Black Budget" which is not listed as Federal spending at all, and is not included in any published military spending figures. Iraq and Afghanistan have also been excluded from the Federal military budget as they have been funded mostly by extra-budgetary "supplementary appropriations" outside of the Federal budget. Nevertheless, the international organization that monitors worldwide defense spending (SIPRI) including the Russians and the Chinese and many others does a pretty good job of comparing apples to apples in their world defense-spending and other databases.
