Since defense is specifically enumerated in the Constitution, it shouldn't be lumped in with all the other non-Constitutional crap that the Federal government spends our money on. Once all the non-Constitutional spending has been eliminated, then we can talk about cutting defense.

Just my 2 cents.

Especially since 85% of fedgov is unconstitutional.

Since defense is specifically enumerated in the Constitution...

You're right, the Federal government's role to provide for "a common defense" is specifically noted in the Constitution.

However...

Let's not confuse spending for the Big Military™ arm of Big Government™ with spending for genuine defense. They are not the same.

Let's also remember that on 9/11, despite the official narrative, the real first responders were not in fact government employees but ordinary men and women, young and old, private citizens - like Rick Rescorla in the World Trade Center and the passengers of UAL 93 over the skies of western Pennsylvania - who saved thousands of their fellow citizens' lives by acting decisively, selflessly, and courageously on that clear early autumn day in 2001.
