Military Funding for the Economic Bailout

Am I the only one that see the staggering spending used for Iraq as a source for the bailout? Sure, I'm both naïve in the ways of military and national economics. But that $800bn price tag for the bailout seems like it could quite easily come from supporting our troops by bringing them home.

At $5,000 spent per second in Iraq, that's almost 62 months to make up the $800bn. Say we just cut that in half... $2,500 per second over the next 10 years? All paid off! And that's just from military funding.
