While we spend $.53 of every dollar on military related expenditures, more jobs are created by investment in healthcare & education than by the defense industry. Same skill sets can be repurposed for transition from war economy to peace economy, and dirty economy to green economy

Lots better than Senator Warren's "Green New Military," thank you.

We don’t have to choose between a green military and an effective one. My plan will improve our service members’ readiness and safety, and achieve cost savings for American taxpayers. Together, we can fight climate change—and win.

This is dishonest. If you take the totality of federal expense it’s only .18 of every dollar. Fluctuates between .15-.20 each year

I agree with you but sometimes having a amazing offence is the best defence. M.A.D. is a very effective de-escalation tool. But our econemy, healthcare and schools should always be next on par to the ladder.

Is that the healthcare you want to eliminate?
