Military spending as % of GDP?

Anyone know of a place that lists countries and how much of their GDP is spent militarily?

This isn't in the GDP, but I'm sure you could find it around here somewhere...

If you want a list of the components that comprise military spending that we track here in the Department of Commerce (BEA), this is the basic table we release
