here's a novel idea: instead of sending our troops overseas to "nation build" and provide security in 3rd world middle-eastern ****holes...why not send them to patrol and secure our own freakin border?
Typical liberal action: Drastically cut our military so that the next time we need them they will be ineffective and a danger to themselves. Gotta love Democrats and their desire to kill our soldiers.

From which country do you fear invasion, exactly?
Where is your link to unbiased, factual proof that America can only be safe by outspending the next three largest military expenditure countries in the world by MORE THEN DOUBLE?
Good - all the branches should be cut.
America cannot afford such a ridiculously huge military.
Bring all the troops home, stop butting in into other countries affairs and then slash the defense budget...drastically.

Good point. Now that goods are used with Floo Powder, we don't need the ability to secure sea-lanes!Slash, slash, slash! Just what I like to see!
We don't need to be the police of the world. We can't afford that ****. Let's focus on us for a while.
What a dumbassed question!
I never said that, "America can only be safe by outspending the next three largest military expenditure countries in the world by MORE THEN DOUBLE". Why would you demand that I prove it?

Meet our new Army of One:
The Army will announce that it will cut more than 10 brigade combat teams, a significant reduction in the size of its fighting forces and combat power, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.
The Army previously announced it would reduce its end-strength from its current level of 541,000 to 490,000 soldiers by 2017 under the $487 billion of spending reductions mandated by the 2011 Budget Control Act, but has not detailed where it will cut. The Army is working to notify Congress of the cuts, an Army official told Stars and Stripes.

Well Obama claims he will build a civilian security force. Remember? So what do we need an Army for?
Good point. Now that goods are used with Floo Powder, we don't need the ability to secure sea-lanes!
I don't fear invasion from any country. That doesn't mean we won't ever need a strong, effective and proficient military, though.
Look, the need to use our military can...and will...arise. It doesn't matter which Party is in control when it happens. What matters is...will our military be up to speed or not. We've seen in the past that the military suffers after the Democrats get their way and chop the hell out of our military budget. I, having been there...done that, don't want to see it happen again.
Democrats don't seem to care.
The USA could cut its military expenditures in half (Which I advocate.) and it would still be spending more than the next four countries, two of which are our allies.
And we would still have the ability to destroy the world.
Exactly where did I say that you did?
I simply asked you a question.
Okay, so this level of spending is apparently too much for you as well...good.
LOL!! Another nice attempt at putting words in my mouth...but once again, you fail. :naughty
Here are 2 more questions - what level of military spending (budget size) do you want for America?
And whatever that level is - do you have ANY links to unbiased, factual proof that that level is required to justify the expenses that you want?
All I'm saying is that we have seen the results of liberal/progressive/Democrat slashing of military spending. Those results are not good. When the military is needed again...soldiers needlessly die.
If you anti-military folks really want to cut government spending, you would be better served cutting the myriad entitlement programs, cutting the enormous number of useless and redundant agencies and programs...reducing the size, scope and power of the government. Not only would we still have an effective military to rely on when the need arises, we would also have a country of responsible, independent citizens.
Oh, wait...I forgot. You don't WANT responsible, independent citizens.
Never mind.
