With the wars, the budget rose to 700 billion.<br /><br />In 2000 the USA was spending 300 billion on defense.<br /><br />There are only about 250 billion stars in the Milky Way.<br /><br />Anyway, you could cut defense by 250 billion, and still have the same military we had under Ronald Reagan, which was huge.étoiles dans la Voie Lactéenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-21673753215582413032012-01-06T14:15:41.373-07:002012-01-06T14:15:41.373-07:00You can only imagine the response here at the U.S....You can only imagine the response here at the U.S. ARMY CGSC...<br /><br />Let's just say it's an interesting feeling when you're the only guy in the room who's service ISN'T going to get smaller (No Navy representation in my small group).<br /><br />I pointed out the history professor's take on the German Army after WWI: When your Army is made smaller...you can retain the best and the brightest!
