It's not particularly true outside the US though, most NATO members spend less than the 2%, and here in the UK the army is down to 30k or so staff. In a nation of 70 million. If total war were to break out, how long could the UK survive?

Meanwhile NHS spending as a % of GDP rose even under the conservatives, although this figure doesn't take into account an aging population.

You could alternatively phrase "But that's the thing where you are wrong" as "But here's the crux of why I disagree", it's a bit more personable
