What military threats are there that require we have a larger military to face them? IMHO, none - NK and Iran are not justifiable in terms of military aggression.
But even buying into the argument that there's some sort of threat out there that must be faced militarily - why is it that we don't hear about PULLING OUT OF IRAQ as a solution?
Wouldn't that solve the issue? After all, our being bogged down in this bullshit illegal war based on utter lies is why the military is essentially "broken" (if you forget about all the other troops in countries we have little reason to even be in).
