1) Cuts in uniformed soldiers. This is a mistake. As I indicated in my post, no one doubts the value of these men and women.
2) Woefully insufficient cuts in government civilians. By and large, these people are unproductive parasites. It is a mistake not to make more cuts in these areas. There is waste, fraud, and abuse all over the place, and it will not get better until the number of government civilians is reduced to where they HAVE to perform efficiently.
I've been involved in Acquisitions. The goal here is "How can I spend $2B?" That's it -- start to finish. Actually accomplishing something of value is not really of interest to the government civilians I've seen. They need to spend money to justify jobs. They don't care if they have anything to show for it.
They hurt the warfighter.

Do your math! Unlike uniformed soldiers, government civilians are 90% democrat voters.
What is the civilian to soldier ratio in the armed forces? I know it is way up there.
