Yeah, sure. The issue is this won’t decrease funding. If anything, it’ll increase it. They have a certain number of troops they want to maintain. If they don’t have them, they’ll spend more on advertising. I wouldn’t be that upset if some of the funding went to increased pay, but that’s likely not going to happen, at least not significantly.
Oh good that’s what we need.
Fewer enlistees.
Exactly. Why do you think the US military needs more enlistees?
We should have fewer
We can decrease our spending by like 6/7ths and we’re still spending the most on our military compared to other countries.
Everyone’s looking for cuts to fix the deficit, we should start with the military and healthcare insurance/ middlemen that bloat these industries.

Maybe that would be a good thing under Trump…
