re: Let's talk about military spending

I think there's definitely room to reduce the size of both, but outright elimination? No.

1. Who handles the nukes?
2. Force Projection would go to shite. That's not something you can just ramp up. Not in this day and age.
3. The loss of knowledge at the tactical and strategic level. Again, not something you can just ramp up in this day and age. And not something the National Guard can effectively maintain. It's a full time job.
4. What about the cyber mission force?

That's just off the top of my head.
