When we pay more for our military than the next 8-10 countries COMBINED while our infrastructure, medical system and education system are in shambles, then yes, I wish we could take a gigantic axe to the military budget. 

Trump said he'd champion "America first" and work on domestic issues. He's done nothing if the sort. 

I'm a veteran, but unchecked, unaffordable  militarism is not what we need right now. Steve brings up Medicare and SS but neglects to mention those programs have their own taxes to support it. The military does not. The military uses more than 50% of our discretionary budget. That's a fact.
