Wouldn't a grown up in the WH decide what the strategic goals are BEFORE the drastic budget cutting is done?

That's like tearing up the recipe before you go to the store to buy what's needed for that recipe..

Any kind of results could lead to war. Just setting up to almost mindless spending money on defense without really laying out our strategic goals are is just a mindless.
