We need to spend less on social services, etc., for the military. This business of allowing, particularly junior enlisted, to move their families around the world with all expenses paid every few years is for the birds.

You do realize we're an all-volunteer force right? Good luck recruiting when you have to tell kids that they can never get married while wearing the uniform.

Oh I've posted many times that enlisted members below the rank of E-5 shouldn't be allowed to get married. In fact, I don't even know why we have 9 enlisted ranks. We could probably cut a few Also we need to get women out of the military. Getting rid of the women would save well over the 54 billion Trump wants to increase by.

Allowing? I don't remember having a lot of choice in the matter.
