  "The military budget throughout Obama's time in office has been higher than it ever has before."  That is generally factual, though I would concede that it was much higher during WWII.  But in recent decades it is correct.
  
  "It has increased substantially OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS."  This is for all defense-related expenses, not just the DOD budget, which doesn't include things like the CIA, NSA, Homeland Security, etc.  2011 was the high water mark, but since 2013 spending has increased.  
  
  Hanson's claim of "vast cutbacks" is without merit.
