Military expenditure (% of GDP), 1970–2021. Bars, not a line: a line drawn across a year the source does not report would invent an observation a reader could not tell from a measured one.

The World Bank reports 24 of the 52 years between 1970 and 2021 for Afghanistan. The missing 28 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
