Radically reducing the military is inevitable.

I'm not so sure about that. In size, it already has been radically reduced, and I think there would be more opposition to further radical reduction.

And as a percentage of the economy, or percentage of all government spending, you've had a long term downtrend in military spending. I expect that downtrend will resume after Iraq, but such a reduction wouldn't generally be called "radical reduction".
