That sounds like a possible plan altho 90% military cut in unrealistic, even tho as a libertarian I am philosophically oppsed to empire and wars of adventure, I recognize our empire has consequences, and if we cut 90% the blowback would be dangerous.
But 50%, sure.
The simple truth is there is no easy solution. What we did these last 30 years under republican and centrist (that is, neocon and neolib) rule ALSO has consequences.
What is coming is going to hurt like hell.
