The US uses most of the difference for it's imperialist agenda (as in waging offensive wars well outside its borders) and simply shoveling money to it's military-industrial complex, not defense.
Germany spends enough money to reasonably protect it's own borders, as do most of Germany's other allies. The US overspending on military is insane, and has fuck all to do with "defense".
(Apologies for the over-used terms like "imperialist" and "military-industrial complex", but they seem appropriate in this context.)
