A direct comparison of germany ' s defence spending ( 1 . 4 % of gdp ) with that of the united states ( 3 . 7 % ) is somewhat unfair : the whole point of germany ' s foreign policy has been to avoid putting resources mainly in the military basket 直接比较德美两国国防支出（前者占其国内生产总值1 . 4 % ，后者则为3 . 7 % ）不是很公平，因为德国外交政策的指导方针就是避免把资源都放在国防支出上。
