86. Oh please, at least be honest with youself
Those polls are completely relevant to your post because your OP stated that most people agree with you, that we should have a large military force, such as we currently have. I showed you three polls that showed you that no, most people want to cut our military budget, with the average amount of the cut being 31%

Oh, and you really should research the positions of people you disagree with before you reference them or disparage their positions. Let's take a look at Kucinich's position on the size of the military, shall we. "It is time the U.S. set an example for the world by proposing a 15% cut in the military budget to help meet pressing social needs, including hunger, both abroad and at home." <http://kucinich.us/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1747&Itemid=29> Oooo, that's such a kooky concept, cutting the military budget by fifteen percent. So kooky that most of the people in this country want to double that figure to over a 30% cut, as I referenced above. Yes, indeed, people like that "kooky kucinich and the fringe wackydoodle far left" are so out of touch with American people. Hell, the American people want to cut the military budget not by fifteen percent, but by nearly a third! Yes, I guess that the left is really out of touch with the American people:eyes:

So gee, if you're so in tune with the American public, how much do you think we should cut the military budget by? Ten percent? Fifteen percent? Careful, you're getting into Kucinich territory. Or do you agree with most of the people in this country that we should cut the military budget by almost a third? Frankly I suspect that you are a member of that fringe group that posits that we should continue to increase our military spending, but hey, feel free to prove me wrong.
