Official spending figures are estimated to be less than half of actual defense spending (since several Pentagon departments have untraceable near-unlimited budgets), and there are lots of defense-related spending programs not included in those official figures as well (the official figure is around $800 billion, although best estimates calculate actual spending is over $1.5 trillion).
