I will say it again the military budget is bloated by at least 33% and full of waste fraud and mismanagement. There are more generals and admirals than at any time in US history and the troop levels are 40% below cold war levels. The budget is over 300B and growing and is larger than the next nine countries budgets added together most of which are US allies except for China. So tell me who is the enemy that we need even more defense money to prepare for. What we need is an efficient effective fighting machine structured for today's battles not a behemoth structured to fight the cold war. This flawed mentality is partially responsible for 9/11 to be pulled off. It was a disgrace to our military, the FAA, the CIA, and FBI, that it happened without so much as one line of defense being used!
