Was WWII fought on US soil? No. Were we prepared with a massive army and navy prior to WWII? No. So, what’s your point? That we need a massive military?

Our strength is our ability to produce at the time of need. No one is calling for no military, just not a military that is used to fight everyone else’s battles.

Was WWII fought on US soil?  No. Were we prepared with a massive army and navy prior to WWII? No. So, what’s your point? That we need a massive military?

If you're going to try to use the world standard prior to WWII as a basis for 2020-2050 military preparedness, we don't have enough commonality between us to even begin to discuss this issue.

Our strength is our ability to produce at the time of need. No one is calling for no military, just not a military that is used to fight everyone else’s battles.

Let me see, our Commanders in Chief are destroying our nuclear capabilities as I write this.  Now the Defense Secretary wants to destroy our conventional military resources.

What could go wrong?

All that needs to be said at this point, is that if people such as yourself and our current president and Defense Secretary get their way, this nation will not be a free sovereign territory in thirty years.  Of course, that would only be what would be left of it by then.
