Across the board 50% cuts, and nothing is untouchable. That includes the military.
I actually agree with you. Our costs for military salaries and pensions are astronomical. I personally know people who have sucked as much as they possibly could from the military, got the salary, housing benefits, education benefits, etc, etc., and believe me, the etc is mind boggling. They are now on to the second career and not looking back - with their government paid doctorate.
Slurp, slurp, slurp - sucking the Republic dry.
