Prior to the Cold War, everyone in America agreed that maintaining a large standing army in peacetime was both dangerous and excessively expensive. We should get back to that ethos. The 9-11 attacks gave our military-industrial complex the excuse it needed to keep the bloat going for another 20 unnecessary years.

Also, don't forget to cut the useless and dangerous CIA while we are getting rid of stuff.

But, it all looked very 'enlightened' on paper.
