Do you support cuts to military spending?

If we cut it by a third are we really less safe? Who are we arming ourselves against? It seems we’ve passed the defense aspect and it’s just become welfare for the MIC. To those who oppose cutswould you still describe yourself as being fiscally conservative?
50

Yes. There’s plenty of waste/

Cut it by half. Most of it is wasted.

30% initially would be a bit much.
5%-7% would be a good start. Go from there.

YUP. need to close 1/2 our overseas bases and completely pull out the ME. Let that shite burn.

Why would we cut Military spending
We want to be boss but we need to bring troops back and beef up our borders
Why do you care about this. You ask this all the time

Yes. Deep cuts.

The money can most certainly be spent more wisely.
I also think you must be smart and careful in going up against the MiC.

Yes. I'd start by eliminating every program whose main goal is tolerance, inclusion, gender equality, or anything else that doesn't make us destroy things better.

Not at the moment but I will support accountability.

You cut 20% do you really think the politicians lining their pockets on both sides of the aisle will give up their pork? The loss will take a hit on our troops first you wont cut the fat until there is nothing left to cut. There needs to instead be one big fricking public audit then see where to cut spending.
Posted on 7/31/18 at 8:17 pm to DavidTheGnome
Start with 10%-15% and spend it more wisely.

For every dollar cut from military spending match it with 2 dollars cut from welfare programs and then we'll talk.
Posted on 7/31/18 at 8:21 pm to DavidTheGnome
Without a doubt. Could easily turn military spending into a wall and immigration enforcement.
Posted on 7/31/18 at 8:21 pm to DavidTheGnome
Nope, but I'm biased as I deal with the military and intelligence services.
Posted on 7/31/18 at 8:22 pm to DavidTheGnome
Absolutely
Posted on 7/31/18 at 8:23 pm to DavidTheGnome
Fully support, and for every dollar we cut we should cut 2 dollars out of what’s left in the federal budget
Posted on 7/31/18 at 8:23 pm to DavidTheGnome
Yes. We could easily cut spending by 10-15% and become efficient while maintaining same level of defense.
Posted on 7/31/18 at 8:24 pm to DavidTheGnome
Yes

Cuts would be reasonable to discuss if they weren't just going to ruin people's lives by kicking them out - and that's what always happens with cuts. We purged tens of thousands of people during the Obama cuts and many of them got bad paper based on fabricated reasons so DoD could avoid giving separation pay and avoid having to make more difficult decisions on who to cut, who to keep. DoD also abused things like PTSD and kicked people out that had PTSD, claiming they had personality disorders and then when busted, they completely blew off oversight efforts from Congress and failed to follow their own regulations.
Also, every time we make cuts, in addition to purging people with experience, we cut operational funds, training funds, maintenance funds.
All of these add up to putting more Americans in the ground than ought to be there.
frick YOU to every one of you that wants cuts. You just want Americans killed.
Preach accountability for the dollars spent and maybe you have some credibility.
