How dare the military act like politicians and conserve their bureaucracy, their pork, their perks, their ....oh well.....

Peace dividend? True enough (and the enemy simply imploded) but all the way back to Horace some believed that to be prepared for war was the path to peace so I'm not sure exactly what this guy means when he says "We could now concentrate on peace, not a major war" How soon we forget and pretend the world is not still a dangerous place.

I'll wager a bet the author had NEVER taken the same critical opinion of waste toward government social programs.

To leftists the only waste in government is in the military. Other bureaucratic institutions operate on the farthest reaches of the "production frontier curve".

If not, it's only because of lack of money. e.g. The Public Education system.
