We all have House races next year; some a Senatorial race. Show up at every town meeting & ask: If elected, will you vote to reduce the defense budget? If they say we need it high for “nat’l security reasons”, say neither Iraq nor Afghanistan wars increased our national security!

There's a difference between maintaining an active and elite defense position globally and being warmongers. The NAVY is shrinking it's combat forces, the USA is growing weaker in its ability to respond to a genuine foe While we hope and push peace, must always be ready for war

I don’t disagree with your first paragraph, but I don’t believe our current defense budget reflects that. We could decrease it by possibly even a third and retain that posture.

In fact ... I think Afghanistan and Iraq has made us more vulnerable ... add them up ... Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan ... three for three ... we lost them all!
