"For me, a strong military means one that is roughly half the size of the current one. For me, the military should be used sparingly......primarily for the defense of the homeland; occasionally in a joint policing action with other nations. That peace time should really be a time when the country is at peace and not where there is peace in the homeland but the military is fighting in some distant war. "

I agree with your view. I'd also like to take away the ability of the President to launch a war on his own. The President should only be able to respond immediately if we are attacked. Congress should be the one that deliberates and declares war. This shoud be determined by the Supremes so there is no wiggle room.
