And as old as I am, I remember when Reagan was voted into office.I voted for him. He was a RINO, but he loved this country. He was also pragmatic. Reagan would have wanted us to let the Sequestration happen.

You are wrong on both counts.

1. Ronald Reagan was not a "RINO"; that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.

2. Ronald Reagan would not have sat by and watch this nation's military be eviscerated by an entitlement state Congress

“1. Ronald Reagan was not a “RINO”; that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.”

Reagan was the original RINO. He was a pragmatic Democrat who changed party affiliation.

“2. Ronald Reagan would not have sat by and watch this nation's military be eviscerated by an entitlement state Congress”

That is a pure strawman argument.
I was extremely proud of Reagan as my CINC, particularly after having served while Carter was in charge.
Reagan, Thatcher and the Pope managed to set into motion the eventual collapse of the USSR, thus ending the Cold War (after he left office).
He ramped up military defense spending to fight the USSR economically, but he also made it very clear that he would USE THE DOOMSDAY WEAPONS.
It was not a bluff.

There is plenty of money to cut from the Feds defense budget.
Start by cutting out personnel subcontractors, bases in Europe, and civilian unionized DOD employees.
