From my personal opinion: Cutting the military is one of the best things Pres. Obama has done. We could cut it by 2/3's and still have more than enough to fight a real war.
Problem is there are no "real" wars to fight. It's all about small guerilla groups of so-called "terrorists" and "insurgents".
You can't fight them with nuclear weapons and giant armadas of ships.
And having military bases in other countries all over the world? Yeah...that's costing us a lot of money and gaining us a lot of hatred from people worldwide.
