No, its not "in line with other countries", generally speaking. 2.29% of world GDP is spent on military; the US's 3.3% is quite high.
(I mean, its not Russia or Saudi Arabia high, but its nearly a time-and-a-half the global average, even after the distorting effect it has on the global average, given the US's huge share of world GDP.)
