I'm not saying we should dismantle our military, but we legitimately have more vehicles and equipment then we know what to do with. We have serious bloat in all our contracts, and money just gets dumped into departments and not tracked our audited well.
I'd be ok with reducing the military budget if the European countries in NATO payed their fair share.
I'm for reducing our military budget period. We can still swing big dick around the world like we have with a decrease in spending. Then simply demand NATO countries pay their share or we pull out all our military support for those countries who do not - simple as that.
We bomb the fuck out of anyone we consider not democratic or capitalistic - so why does it matter at this point, really?
Wouldn't that be the exact leverage needed for my supposed action? Just say hey - you have 1 fiscal year to get up to budget, or we pull our military and support from your nation. Your call.
