No, I am tired of phony conservatives treating the military as a sacred cow.  It shouldn't be. Growing up republicans always pushed  to  balance the  budget but they never looked to the military to ever cut.  There was a retired military officer not to long ago  who advocated cutting the military budget by 40%.  His point was that this would result in amore efficient military as a lot of waste would be gone.  So I think he should be given a try.
