Do you think the military budget needs to be cut and we need to pull out of all the wars the US is currently occupying?

    Absolutely, end the wars bring home all the troops, let go of all the “private military contractors”.

    Most red states are TOTALLY dependent on pork in the military budget.  Without that pork they would starve to death.  We'll have to wean them off it slowly.

    What wars? So far as I know, we only have police actions. However, if the Seminoles are willing, we should sign a treaty with them. We have yet to do so.

    No, unfortunately our world isn't that peaceful, so every country needs some form of functional Millitary, Air Force and Navy.  Plus pulling out of a country that you've made unstable, when you forced your way into it, changing it, is selfish.  You got to leave it safer than it was before you stormed into it.

    No. That would be an insane move. There would soon be a need to go back and that the cost of all that shifting of assets and equipment would be even MORE extreme. Enemy Nations would LOVE to have the USA retreat and turn over the world to their Domination. 

    Trump ended wars and brought many troops home. The need to maintain military strength and presence is obvious.
