  2. The huge issue the US military has is that it has to be ready for. . . . . .everything. Most nations construct their armed forces around a limited set of scenarios based on their local conditions. America can, and not infrequently does, get involved anywhere in the world in almost any kind of conflict against almost any kind of enemy. That increases costs exponentially.

  4. "The best part is when the military themselves said they can manage with a smaller budget" That's probably code for - "Please stop making us fight hopeless wars in irrelevant backwaters that have nothing to do with us"
