1) Kill the Marines
2) Kill the Navy as a whole. Mind your own ****ing business, stay in your own coastal waters.
3) Reduce the Army
4) Reduce the Air Force

From Jon's numbers:

0B for Marines (from 29B)
100B for Army (from 244B)
0B for Navy (from 150B)
100B for Air Force (from 171B)
50B for Intelligence (from 50B)
50B for general Defense (from 119B)
= 300B, vs the 763B you pay now

Maybe the navy could hold onto 50 billion. That still cuts the budget in half.
