The Budget For Nuclear Forces In The United States Is On The Order Of $25 Billion Or So. That Includes Warheads, Delivery Systems, Command And Control; Does Not Include Environmental Clean-up, Which Is Another Maybe $10 Billion Or So. So That's About 5% Of The U.s. Military Budget.

Life Is A Struggle, But Not A Warfare.
