Personally, I'm not so sure it is a mistake. At least not politically.
Military spending has been a huge hot topic for libtards and democrats for years, reducing funding for more antiquated types of military personnel and increasing spending towards the future of military operations, cyber warfare, spec op insertions, etc. seems to be a smart move.
Even if these cuts don't pass muster, the Dems are going to look good to their basecamp and they may even swing some of the Libs to their side as well as some of the more neutral voters.
We know that countries such as China and North Korea have aspirations of attacking through the use of computers both militarily and on a corporate level, so why not decrease the amount of foot soldiers we have while increasing the security for what I am sure we all agree is going to be the future of warfare, drones, cyber attacks, etc.
Seems like a no-brainer to me.
