re: Shrink the military? Can right and left agree on this?

I have no problem shrinking the military, especially the military contracts for equipment. There is tremendous waste and abuse that goes with that. Why we continue to have troops in foreign countries, I don't really understand. We need to eliminate foreign aid.

Although it's not within the topic, I also believe we should reduce spending within the gov't across the board. Anyone that thinks we can stay on this path is insane. $17 trillion in debt, I'm not sure why we think we can stay on this path. I know it won't change and it's frustrating to hear this President talk about personal spending responsibility when they continue to waste our money as they do.
