From way back in the thread, but:

UK:

1999 - 40.6 Billion Education, 26.7 Defense (Including Foreign Military and Economic Aid) Total Spend - 332.7
2004 - 61.0 Billion Education, 32.4 Defense (Including Foreign Military and Economic Aid) Total Spend - 455.1
2009 - 83.0 Billion Education, 41.8 Defense (Including Foreign Military and Economic Aid) Total Spend - 629.2

1999 - Defense spend was 65.8% of the Education Spend, and 8% of the overall budget.
2004 - Defense spend was 53.1% of the Education Spend, and 7.1% of the overall budget.
2009 - Defense spend was 50.4% of the Education Spend, and 6.6% of the overall budget.

USA:

1999 -

1999 - 65.8 Billion Education, 335.7 Defense (Including Foreign Military and Economic Aid) Total Budget - 1727.1
2004 - 76.7 Billion Education, 313.8 Defense (Including Foreign Military and Economic Aid) Total Spend - 1957.9
2009 - 97.0 Billion Education, 594.4 Defense (Including Foreign Military and Economic Aid) Total Spend - 2853.5


1999 - Defense spend was 510.2% of the Education Spend, and 19.4% of the overall budget.
2004 - Defense spend was 409.1% of the Education Spend, and 16.0% of the overall budget.
2009 - Defense spend was 612.8% of the Education Spend, and 20.8% of the overall budget.


So yes, you're probably right, probably no other country on earth spends nearly a 5th of its entire budget, and 5x its education budget, (And rising) on its military, and therefore it'd probably be ridiculous to try and invade America.
