I don't buy that. Are we cutting the military by 90%? 80%? 50%?

No. We are not.

So we would not cripple Afghanistan. We would, however, reduce the size of an obscenely and unnecessarily large global military however.

Goes from $555B to $500B, I think. Which is still more than 2006, at the height of the Iraq War. -- nm - mara Nov 9, 07:50 1

Seriously, if our military can't handle Afghanistan on it's own with a majority of the current budget...we shouldn't be fighting wars. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 9, 07:42
