The List (Printing)
U.S. military spending ($343 billion in the year 2000) is 69 percent
greater than that of the next five highest nations combined. Russia,
which has the second largest military budget, spends less than
one-sixth what the United States does. Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Cuba,
Sudan, Iran, and Syria spend $14.4 billion combined; Iran accounts for
52 percent of this total.
The following is a partial list of U.S. military interventions from
1890 to 1999. This guide does NOT include demonstration duty by
military police, mobilizations of the National Guard, offshore shows
of naval strength, reinforcements of embassy personnel, the use of
non-Defense Department personnel (such as the Drug Enforcement
Agency), military exercises, non-combat mobilizations (such as
replacing postal strikers), the permanent stationing of armed forces,
covert actions where the U.S. did not play a command and control role,
the use of small hostage rescue units, most uses of proxy troops, U.S.
piloting of foreign warplanes, foreign disaster assistance, military
training and advisory programs not involving direct combat, civic
action programs, and many other military activities.
