It's a good idea Dick, but the problem is there are too many people out there that are bent on violent dominance of their neighbors for us to let down our guard. I do agree that military spending could and should be reduced, but it must be done in a way that doesn't put our people at risk.

Consider the history of conflicts during the last 50 years. Our military is geared up to fight a war that will never be, and are totally unprepared to fight the wars that already are.
