In manpower you overwhelm any opponent...
In weaponry, missiles, and equipment numerically there is an advantage...
But the gulf in terms of efficiency is not so drastic.
Intelligence gathering is pretty much deadlocked...
Take into account two very recent wars and a fatigued military...
Cutting spending to those other integral parts could endanger the U.S.
Not to mention infowars...
Civil unrest at a tipping point also adds to the total aftermath.
Maybe a 10% cut could help...
Any more than that is playing with fire at this stage.
