>> So why don't we get smart and cut our nukes down to just want we need to destroy the world once? Isn't that enough? It sure as hell would save us a ton of money.

I'm not sure there would be much savings.

>> The same could be said for our military.

A weak military is a recipe for disaster. Because you don't know what your next encounter will be. A strong military is essential for us because there are potential threats that no other entity, aside from the USA, can deal with.

Bad idea.

>> We outspend the rest of the world combined on the military

As we should.
