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.
As far as I know the US spends more on their military than the next 10 countries combined. Seems there is room for substancial reductions.

The only threat to the US at the moment and in the foreseeable future is terrorism. And a bloated military can do nothing at all to stop a suitcase dirty bomb.
