| Description |
In the mid 1970s, the United States launched an unprecedented peace time military build-up. By 1986, US military purchases totalled 251 billion in 1982 constant dollars, a sum which exceeded by $4 billion the top expenditures of the Vietnam War reached in 1968, and was only $2 billion below the Korean War peak attained in 1953.1 If the US government fully implements its "Star Wars" program, its military expenditures, in real terms, will significantly surpass those of the Korean War.
