Eh, take a closer look at the budget and tell us all how you would make a 50% cut; eliminate the Marine Corps?
Here’s how:
Let Europe defend itself. Close every single base in Europe.
Let Japan and Korea defend themselves. Close those bases.
End the pointless Afghan war. Now.
Close every single base in the ME. Bring those troops home. Now.
That’d cut the defense budget by 1/3 at least.
