You know, we do have a militia, and we don't do anything with it

6. I think we should and dismantle the Army for the most part and scale back the Marines.

The militia could only operate in the US and while active military could operate in the US, they would be restricted from be armed or having live munitions while on duty outside a base or a training reserve.

The Air Force and the Navy would remain standing/professional as such missions dictate. The Reserves would be shut down. Special forces might even expand somewhat.

We would maintain a tremendous ability to project power around the globe, provide security for commerce and travel, and special operations as well as rescue but have no plausible capability of occupation, anywhere.

I don't agree with the contention that service is required to keep and bear arms, that is a right conveyed by citizenship but then militia participation would be a responsibility of citizenship (and it is now, we just have a society wide /ignore one it), if you are a conscientious objector then logically you would waive your right to keep and bear arms but you still would be obligated to muster and serve in a support role only as opposed to also being prepped for combat capability.
