[Peace] Politifact: Sanders Pentagon $ claim "mostly false" because "it's complicated."

[Robert Naiman]

Shorter Politifact: we talked to some experts, and they say it's more
complicated than that, therefore Sanders' claim is "mostly false."

Less than 10 percent of defense budget is for fighting terrorism, Sanders
says
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/jan/18/bernie-s/less-10-percent-defense-budget-fighting-terrorism-/

So, if Sanders' claim is "mostly false," does that mean that the true
figure is more like 20%, or 50%, or 90%? Who knows? Who cares? Don't worry
your pretty little heads about it, the smart people will take care of it,
go back to your football game.
