I find the silence on this movement in the 90's deafening. This is how ol' schlickmeister boasted his so called peacetime 'surplus'. He cut the military by billions.

The National Debt increased every year of the reign of King William.

The so-called peace dividend and military reductions started in the Bush 41 administration. After the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, the politicians started eviscerting DOD, which was one of the few agencies in government that actually suffered a reduction.
