He alluded to this, yes, and his numbers were way, way off from what I've read. I did include that in my thinking of what he lied about.
I will never accept the argument of spending less on the military with an increasingly aggressive Russia, China developing newer technologies and spending on military through the nose, and the fact that national defense is one of the only specifically constitutionally mandated functions of the federal government.
