It depends on how you calculate it.
I think WRL does the best possible calculation by including the interest we pay on the percentage of the national debt that was military spending.

Don't worry, once the Democrats get the White House, all your Military taxes will go for crack whores with kids who are too lazy to get a real job.

I believe the number is somewhere around 30%. It is the second largest expenditure behind Medicare/Social Security that our government has.
