Comparisons between Australia and the US are very interesting. I've long held the belief that the US was influenced strongly by their war for independence history. Therefore, defence spending and the capitalisation and rampant promotion of gun rights were born from that history. White Aussies came from convict stock. Our Cultural capital (in Psychology terms) is completely different. I'll also state that the economics of the US Government and the arms industry, in my opinion, survive by ensuring that the US is involved in some sort of armed conflict. Please understand, I don't blame the majority of US citizens, I just feel that the US is culturally controlled by the perceived need to keep the economy going by producing arms and securing oil deposits.
In respect to the video. No, we spend relatively little on defence. I think we rely on our Big Brother, the US, to come to our defence when we need defending. Personally, we all, as humans, need to learn to be excellent to each other.
