Here are some facts:

During the years 2003 through and including 2011, DoD spending
went from $400 to about $675 billion - an increase of 68% over
9 years.

Going back to 1962, there has never been such a large AND
SUSTAINED increase in DoD spending as there has been since 2002.

Gee, a random chart of the internet, with no attributable source at
all.

The chart was from he

And the source of the data in the chart was from he

Historical Outlays by Function and Subfunction
Historical Outlays by Agency

========================

And this is what you use for data? Figures.

Take your foot out of your mouth and provide any chart or graph (with
references) that purports to show something different than what I posted
here.

If you don't believe that DoD spending has increased by 68% since 2002
then give us a graph to back up your version of these facts.
