Hate to burst your bubble, but military spending may seem like alot but it is not going to hurt the US. As a percentage of GDP it's about 3.5 % and has been decreasing steadily since the 80's. It is true that we have some budgetary problems, however these are not due to excessive military spending.

Money to finance the war has been withdrawn from retirement funds.
Where does that wild idea come from? My retirememnt fund is perfectly secure. If you are trying to make a referrence to Social Security, the correct term is "Ponzi Scheme" not retirement fund.
