the Web page I gave above specified that 80% of the debt was due to military spending. "Due to interest on itself" is a dodge. We do not go into debt because we like to pay interest, but because we buy things with money we do not have, and the US Government bought billions of dollars of weapons with money it didn't have, in the 1980s.

Go back and read the link. It said 80%. Even if you accept the "analyst" figure also mentioned in the Web site, that makes military spending 40% of the Federal Budget. Do you have any counter-evidence showing the exact number?
None.
