"Not quite 1,000 billion, and only a fraction of our 3,500 billion budget for 2010...19%."

The actual quote said

"The total expenditures to maintain our world empire is approximately $1 trillion annually...."

Given the context, I think he was adding in foreign aid, plus potentially other elements like NATO participation, etc, not just the military budget.

[Mr Rogers]

Foreign aid would add about 50 billion, to a total of around 715 billion.

715 is still far below 1000.

Think ‘entitlement spending’....
