If you note, he didn’t say “military entitlements”. It was a followup question in regards to “entitlements” in general. Not specifically for members of the military.

Here is a later exchange in regards to military salary which is what I mentioned:

AMANPOUR: Pay for soldiers? Would you cut that?

PAUL: I think that’s something that you can’t do. I don’t think...

AMANPOUR: You cannot do?

PAUL: Right. I think that soldiers have to be paid. Now, can we say that gradually we don’t need as large of an Army if we’re not in two wars? Yes, I think you can say that. You can save money there. You can bring some troops home or have Europe pay more for their defense and Japan pay more and Korea pay more for their defense or bring those troops home and have savings there.

It is my firm belief that Rand Paul wants to cut military pensions. I also believe the US could save money by cutting foreign aid, stopping all immigration (legal and illegal) for a few years until our economy becomes solvent; cut the bureaucrats in DC, take a hard look at medicaid and welfare, stop regulating the big corporations out of America and stop the ridiculous lawsuit against Arizona. The USA bails everyone out from Haiti to Africa to the Arab nations..time to stop. The environmental movement is costing us a mint too...we need to drill for oil, burn clean coal and utilize our natural resources. Do those things FIRST.
Privatize social security and stop Obamacare. Also, NO global taxes and take a better look at the UN and if it is worth our time to remain as a member.
