That’s not the question....the question should be is what we’re spending on National Defense buying the right stuff?
Probably a small amount of the budget, but we have way too many general/flag officers as a percentage of the overall force. IMO, that can create problems in readiness by gumming up the works. We have too many Courtney Massengales, need more Sam Damons.

One way to reduce the defense budget. Close all of our foreign bases and bring home all troops stationed outside the continental US except for the Marines guarding each embassy. Let the rest of the world defend itself.
