Reality is America was built on being a provider to war(s), it's what we do. We don't necc. do wars good in modern times, we've had some big victories, the war in the Pacific for example. But we can build war machinery and troops up.
The government has also shown it does something else right and that's hire people. They hire a shit ton of people, most of those arehired into the military.
The problem is when we combine those two, it seems some in charge think we have a need to point our huge military somewhere and go attack.
It would be catastrophic to our economy to make any serious cuts into our military spending and to the employment #s, so to avoid that we need to keep those.
But instead of pointing that machine and doing damage, make it so those employed and those tools provide a value. Have those people build infrastructure, supply medicine and food to those around the world that need it. Put fighters in places where they need to be to keep the peace in such a way that we don't gain the ire of the world but the respect.
