Bayh said that "the fastest-growing part of the Pentagon’s budget are health care expenses." There’s little debate that generous military health care benefits are taking up an ever-increasing share of the Pentagon’s budget. While other parts of the budget have spiked, that’s in the past. We rate the statement .
