McKeon Highlights Concerns Over Military Cuts

America could cut its military budget by 95% and be perfectly safe, since no army of Canadians is going to invade North Dakota. But what America could not do is maintain its 700+ overseas bases - the American empire.

Attacked by who, its called nuclear weapons, its the SAME reason no one attacks Russia even though their military is CRAP with only a $80 billion budget, its because they will nuke the sh!t out of you if you attack them, it doesn't cost that much to maintain nukes.

Now they want a bigger slice of the pie, and the only way to do that is to cut into the benefits for the troops that operate their weapons. Go ahead make a draft, you will have 20 million protesting over your BULLSH!T wars, no one goes into the military because they know the wars they will be fighting in are BS.

How the flying fvck is this possible when our god d4mn budget is the largest its ever been. Hey retard wake up our military is more nimble you don't need superpower size military unless you plan on using it to take over China and erase the debt you create with having such a large military. How about you cut the BS spending on failed projects and give that money to the actual troops fighting. No you won't do that because the military budget is total BS, it all goes to contractors.
