So does anybody know when (and why) Obama put that on HIS budget? Which year did he do that/ And how? I thought that there hasn't been even ONE budget passed since Obama has been President?

Most of the war was supplemental spending under Bush. Obama put on the books from day one. Also you have remember there over 300 million people is this country. If the Gov spend only $5 on each one of them it would be 1.5 trillion.
Also bring all the troops home what do you do with them then? and all the businesses that support that army.Its not cut and dry.
