Can we get this adjusted by CPI?

I agree in spirit but a CPI applied to military expenditure would be adjusting for prices of irrelevant items and could become very skewed at such large scales

Admittedly I don't know have a better idea either so... Guess I'm hoping somebody smarter than me can chime in
