I'm sure you would like us to do like Rome of old did and turn in our Swords for Plowshares, to ready us for destruction. This is a dangerous world we live in, and Military readiness is the price of peace.
I'd be interested in a chart of some sort.

A chart that illustrates since say 1945 (good time period to start) the cost of the military (meaning anything, ANYTHING related to the military) vs. social services provided by the government in that over sixty year period.

I'd bet my money that defense trumps social services. Not that social services don't account for a lot of money (they do and need to be rid of), but the military...just wow.
