NSA is primarily a military agency. You only hear about the much smaller civilian side. Defunding it would cripple the US military, leaving it blind and deaf. Is that what you want?

A lot of us on FR served in the Army Security Agency (ASA); the Naval Security Group (NSGP); and the Air Force Security Service (AFSS)--armed force's "versions" of NSA. President Trump should re-launch these now-defunct (I think) orgs. and split up NSA's massive military resources between them. Having done this, Trump should then defund the NSA.

I agree. Trump needs to do something ASAP or he might as well move down to Mar a Largo and play golf.
