"Cut Military Spending"
While it sounds good to me I have concerns about this popular phrase.
My concern is we need to be very clear on which part of the military needs cutting.

My cynical side says that when cuts come they will be to veteran's services, Tri-Care coverage, housing allowance, etc..

Just a thought.

1. This is why Veteran's Affairs was moved to its own cabinet department
In theory they have separate budgets.

2. That is reassuring to hear

My fear is that the "little guy" will take the hit rather than the private contractors who fuel endless war for profit.
