HBB,
As I said, defense shouldn't be exempt from cuts and very likely needs reforms. Looking at defense as a focus point when it actually represents less than 15% of government spending while turning a blind eye to the 500 lb gorilla in the room of mandatory spending is foolish. Especially as there aren't ever-increasing obligations that are expected to grow tremendously in the coming years with defense given that congress evaluates it every year as part of a budget process.
