If it was cut to 6 billion I dont think that is enough to maintain even half the troops and existing equipment we have right now let alone to do any research, operations, new equipment acquisition/construction etc. We can argue about how much is needed but these super drastic cuts certain people suggest are imbecilic. If Russia and China are such threats we need to maintain superiority or at the absolute minimum parity with them instead of massively shrinking and letting our existing resources rust and breakdown. If we cut it to 600 Million we might as well just abolish the whole military because that would be fucking nothing. Oh and 600 billion give or take a year vs 36 trillion over than ten years....even if we cut the ENTIRE military budget it would only cover 6 trillion or so out of that. TLDR: Think before you post and learn some damn math. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
