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?

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.

Why would we cut Military spending
We want to be boss but we need to bring troops back and beef up our borders

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.

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.

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.

Without a doubt. Could easily turn military spending into a wall and immigration enforcement.

Nope, but I'm biased as I deal with the military and intelligence services.
