Reply #3: I would defund until I choked the life out of the MIC....

[mike_c]

If I could pick one permanent change to make in the world-- absolute power, on my say so-- it would be to cut U.S. military spending by 75% or more. Not to save money, especially, but rather to hamstring the generals and their MIC cohorts in the "defense industry." While diverting the money to other uses is desirable, simply starving the MIC beast is justification enough.

U.S. out of Iraq and Afghanistan NOW! (And Pakistan, Libya, Yemen, etc!)
