I don't know why you'd be downvoted. 60 percent of the national budget goes to military.

No, it doesn't. Slightly less than half of the discretionary portion of the budget goes to defense programs. The discretionary portion is only about 33% of the total budget, meaning defense programs take about 16% of the total budget.

that's not even close to correct, the USA does spend a lot on military but it does not do your argument any good to make up numbers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_budget
