Coburn identified five areas that he said had nothing to do with national security yet represent a significant chunk of the annual $600 billion-plus Pentagon budget:

—Nonmilitary research, $6 billion.

—Education, $10.7 billion.

—Tuition assistance, $4.5 billion.

—Pentagon-run grocery stores, $9 billion.
