Slash the Pentagon Budget in Half & Abolish ICBMs: Dan Ellsberg on How to Avoid Nuclear Armageddon

6. Down for part of the argument

I would gladly reduce the military to pre-WWI/WWII levels and a return to Neutrality (versus Isolationism which is a little different). We can do that easily because we have the nuclear deterrent, no easily accessed invasion routes, and a generally well-armed and competent citizenry. So yes, we can reduce military budget by as much as 75% and still be secure in our borders.
