5 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Be Scared by the Plan to Downsize the Army

4. While reducing active duty troop levels...

...is a good first step.

The real costs are the big ticket items (i.e. F35 & 12 active Carrier Groups and secret Black Project programs).

I am all in favor of a general reduction in active duty and active programs, if we simultaneously increase our reserve and guard components.

I would like to see major reductions in active Army, Navy and Air Force units/programs with slight reductions in the Marines, modest increases in the Coast Guard and modest increases in the Reserve/Guard for all branches.

And close half of those 800+ over seas installations.
