The Pentagon never stood down after WWII ended, and we've maintained and equipped massive forces ever since, including garrisons around the world. Maybe that made some sense during the 1950s-- maybe-- but today it's been draining our economy for three generations. Eisenhower was right. We MUST rein in military spending, like to the tune of 75% cuts, and Congress must reassert its authority over Executive war making. Let Trump turn the Penta-gone into the grandest ballroom ever!
