Most of the US spending on defense is wasted. It is designed to fight past wars, to establish a global presence in order to threaten and intimidate and is really just a subsidy to industry. They could safely slash defense spending by 70% and they would be safer and better off. Europe is in fact quite capable of defending itself today from any credible military threat. Security threats, and terrorists, are not going to be defeated by conventional military forces. Too bad Mr. Trump is too dumb to figure this out. Or it could be that he just wants to ensure tax dollars go mostly to the rich.
