If you think Strike figthers that cost $2 billion a pop and take factories in 49 states to produce can be readily replaced as they get shot down in a war, you're ignorant.
Thus the need to have them standing by?
I'm as fiscally conservative as the next guy, and don't think we need to be in the middle east or team America world police.
That being said; war, and being prepared for war, is high tech. It requires high tech training and full time jobs. Its not a bunch of farmers grabbing muskets and hunting rifles coming together to defend the Union.

The one error you're making in this is that professional soldiers are hampered by all sorts of rules of engagement and the geneva convention.
A bunch of patriots with AR-15s, on the othe rhand, are only focused on what brings victory.
