I for one would be glad to see this regime with less power in the world. We still have enough thermonuclear devices both on land and out at sea to prevent a rogue attack by the Norts, Iran or even China from happening.
I will wait for a government of AMERICANS to be in place before we start re-militarizing.

Branstad to Obama: Don't cut National Guard
"Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad (R-Iowa) hopes to deliver a message to President Obama on Monday on behalf of all governors: don’t cut the size of the National Guard.
“The message from all the governors of both parties is don’t cut the National Guard,” Branstad said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
The Republican said he understands the Obama administration plans to scale back the size of the United States Army after building it up post-9/11.
“Now, the Army is recommending major reductions in the National Guard instead of the regular Army, and we think that’s a big mistake,” he said. “That’s the message I’m going to bring to the president if I get an opportunity to ask a question.”
Branstad’s request comes as Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel prepares to unveil the Pentagon’s 2015 budget.
The New York Times reported on Monday the proposal will call for a reduction in the size of the Army to pre-World War II levels.
Obama held a dinner for governors on Sunday night at the White House, and will deliver remarks to the National Governor’s Association on Monday. He will also meet with governors of Western states to discuss the droughts and wildfires plaguing their states."
