Defense encompasses much more than armaments. Much of our arsenal isn't cost-effective, and many of our activities are counterproductive. Sometimes its blowback, but often times its an erosion of our liberties. I'm not opposed to a strong war ready military, but it needs surgically precise reform. It's not on a sustainable, nimble trajectory. Note how there was chaff that had to be cleared at the onset of WW2.
