1. M-16. Would use something like Gallil or Serbian M-21
2. Switch back to recruit Army, leaving only elite units professional.
3. Implement AA missile systems like Russians have, abandoning Air defence leaning on the Airforce.
4. Scrapped toys like F-22 and build more A-10s
5. Stopped building carriers nad build more tanks, APCs, IFVs, self-propelled guns
6. Make conscript (recruit) army so that evry US citizen feels as part of national defence.

For starters...

The military has no interest in this, and rightfully so. The age of large conscript armies has passed.

I would still keep around some F-22 and F-35 platforms for gaining air superority. I don’t know how the recently debuted PAK-FA T-50 aircraft compares to those.
