I was replying to shams93, who said &quot;get rid of standing armies worldwide&quot;.  That plan - whether or not it&#x27;s Sanders&#x27; plan - is impossible without first conquering the rest of the planet.  Getting rid of standing armies in the USA - whether or not that&#x27;s Sanders&#x27; plan - is a fairly bad idea if everyone else keeps their armies.  That was my point.
