Somehow I don’t think we’ll have a hollow force. The 2013 DoD budget is 614 billion dollars. Why do we provide a security blanket for Germany, Japan, and South Korea? They have the 4th, 3rd, and 15th best economies. I think it’s about time they stand up for themselves.

When the unconstitutional parts of the budget have been eliminated - and my taxes have been reduced by 2/3 as a result - I’ll be happy to look at the military budget next.
