I'm pretty hard core "rightwing" on nat'l defense and the military. Since it's my career and all I have a personal bias.
However the military can use a trim. The money that's wasted, thrown away in some cases is mind numbing. There needs to be better accountability at the top. For instance, just on the Army UCP camo pattern...
It's a disaster. It doesn't camoflage you for shit. So they spent billions more to study and design a new pattern, and they may have to shitcan it anyway.
We could use a more efficient force, reduce active duty while enhancing our Nat'l Guard. Guard soldiers can be mobilized just as fast as active duty can. They're just as competent, just as well equiped, and actually have real world skills they bring into use. We don't need bases all over europe, and we need NONE in africa. Let the chinese colonize them. Then they can waste their time and resources maintaining security. We can't afford to secure the world from itself.
