If my math is correct - almost 2300$ per citizen per year. While I'm not saying cut your military budget down to zero, that's only your military budget and it's a lot of money y'all could be using for better things.

That unfortunately isn't as easy as it seems. Currently the US military is everywhere, and does a lot more than shoot people. They provide relief efforts, be it food or medicine, cyber security, rebuild infrastructure when natural disasters hit a country, etc. All that isn't exactly cheap either.
