Content: Consumption and investment in this equation are the expenditure on final goods and services. The exports minus imports part of the equation (often called cumulative exports) then adjusts this by subtracting the part of this expenditure not produced domestically (the imports) and adding back in domestic area (the exports). In monetary terms, the Vietnam conflict was less expensive as a percentage of GDP than World War II and the Korean War. According to Daggett (an economic magazine), the military cost of the war as a percentage of GDP was 9.5% in the peak spending year of 1968. The official U.S. Government start date for the Vietnam conflict is considered to be 1 November 1955. This was when the first U.S. military advisers arrived in Vietnam; however, the first combat troops were not deployed until 1965 which is considered the actual start date. Vietnam was different to the preceding conflicts in the sense there was no spike in military outlays to mark the start of the war, as military buildup remained constant as a result of the Cold War. The peak year of military spending was 1968 when it reached 9.5% of GDP, compared to the last year of the conflict in 1973, when military spending fell to 5.9% of GDP. Fiscally, non-military spending was equally significant in the peak year of the conflict, compared to the Korean War where military outlays were almost three times non-military outlays.
