I believe that 24% includes the base budget for the entire Defense Department. If my numbers are correct the "war" part is approximately half of that. If we were to get rid of 100% of the spending for Afghanistan and Iraq we would still have about 12% for national defense... something we should probably have under any circumstances given the nut jobs running around.
