BUDGETARY SAVINGS FROM MILITARY RESTRAINT

摘要

The U.S. Does not have a defense budget. The adjective is wrong. Our military forces' size now has little to do with the requirements of protecting Americans. The U.S. military is supposed to contain China; transform failed states so they resemble ours; chase terrorists; train various militaries to do so; protect sea lanes; keep oil cheap; democratize the Middle East; protect European, Asian, and Middle Eastern states from aggression and geopolitical competition; popularize the U.S. via humanitarian missions; respond to natural disasters at home and abroad; secure cyberspace; and more.
