Ultimately, as we move towards a single-payer system, I suspect defense spending will need to shrink to European level In the 20th Century we had major periods of disarmament also. The Periods were right before World Wars 1 and II. When we abandon our military strength, the tyrants of the world take note. We are inviting full scale war IMHO.

At 600K dead fighting their wars for them, I think we've given quite enough young men defending the people of Europe and Asia. These are ancient civilizations quite capable of thinking for themselves. It's time they grew up and reacquainted themselves with the notion of military self-sufficiency.
