No but how much over administration is there in the military budget. Maybe toss all the JAG lawyers.

We have more sergeants than privates (including private first class) in the U.S. Army. More chiefs than Indians. Took many decades to accomplish; will take time to correct. Could bump wages of privates and corporals who used to be called sergeants. I’m not military, so would rather let military and veterans offer constructive thoughts.

Pay for fewer types of vehicles and weapons. This will save $20-100 billion a year. Use G.I. bill to pay for trade school while cutting back on university money, without breaking current promises. Close up a bunch of overseas bases, although Obama may have already done a lot of that. Stay out of wars less serious than Hitler - that retroactively would have saved $6 trillion over 10-20 years.
