I believe that the national defense is the one thing every one in America agree s should be the perview of the federal govt- which is why I wonder why liberals and libertarians always pop a hard one for cutting it.
It's because we should stop terrorizing the world with it. One thing about having all those weapons, it's awful tempting to find an excuse to use them.
Of course, no cuts will ever harm our ''defense'' capabilities. No one will invade the U.S. No one can militarily harm us. Yet no amount of planes, bombs, submarines and troops can stop a terrorist attack.
Our military is a force for empire, not defense, and our empire is growing thin and going to run itself into the ground.
