No, because this implies that the military is the primary driver of the debt, when it's more a result of too much entitlement spending. You are spending more on gambling, but you're spending more 'more' on non-gambling items, so it's not like you're financially neglecting your real responsibilities. Tho in this case, the military is the real responsibility. That's a fact, even if whether it may or may not be being neglected in favor of other expenses is a matter of opinion. If we have the resources, that indeed should be our goal. With our economy and future in trouble from too much entitlement spending, we may not be able to reach that goal, but military cuts should still be secondary to entitlement cuts.
