Also 2700% inflation still means defense spending was about 1.3% of what it currently is.

You are correct.  Accounting for inflation, the 1913 military spend is equivalent to $10.2 billion in 2014 dollars and nearly $12 billion today.  So military spending has increased 6200%

Which is really a pointless stat, since we had hardly any military at all in 1914.
