Serious question.
We could pay off the entire national debt in my lifetime.
Could cut it by 75% and it wouldn't matter, they do nothing now. Our Southern Border is being flooded with Illegals and our military does NOTHING.

Pretty sure that patrolling the border for illegals isn't their job.

The stronger our military the stronger the U.S. Dollar.
This is not a coincidence. The dollar has value because men with weapons make it so.
You are welcome BTW.
Recession. Know more pumping big $$$ into STEM-rich military industrial complex places like LA, Silicon Valley, and DC.

Most of that potential 50% reduction is simply blown up and wasted, so causing 35% unemployment is a crock.
Plus the 50% would then be used in other areas, creating many more jobs than any that were lost, or simply kept by the people the taxes were taken from, reducing the need to work overtime.
Now that is comic gold right there! If you believe that THEY would either cut taxes or, LOL, give it back to the people it was taken from you are one stupid mofo.
Republican cognitive dissonance, repub cognitive dissonance everywhere
troll
right, the US consumer doesn't really want anything, but she is brainwashed by brilliant con artists.
Do you actually believe this tripe or are you a troll? Serious question.

You failed to read the subject of the thread, "If U.S. military spending was cut in half, what wld be the long-term repercussions/threats?"
The repercussion is that this country and the world would be much better off.

Yet you remain in America and live under the security provided by its Military. Liberals are without a doubt the the worst form of life on planet earth...

I am not a liberal, and wish the military would go away.
But regarding the worst form of life, you are no one to be talking!
Look, the fact is that the whole purpose of the military is not to protect the US. Republicans HATE America. The purpose of military spending is to put more tax dollars into the pockets of dick cheney's and dubya's cronies. The more waste, the happier they are.

We'd do OK.
Agreed. What the US spends for the military is mind-boggling. The military industrial complex that we were warned about decades ago is very much alive and thriving.
If the drawdown was done intelligently and gradually we would be fine. Indeed, our economy would be better than ever as folks were put to more productive uses and the drain on our federal budget was reduced.
This!
If we cut the budget in half all at once it would be pretty terrible on the economy because that would be tons of suddenly unemployed people. If we slowly did it over say 6 to 8 years then we would have a more responsible military than we currently do. Personally I think cutting in half is a bit too much, but if we cut it by like a third that would be very good.

If it wasn't for the military a group of foreign mongrels would be gang raping you as I typed this ma'am.

You are just a cowardly nitwit on the internet. You don't have the balls to confront a service member on the street. You'd get knocked the fck out! Aka "Ventura'd."

Hey, as long as you're OK with making other people rich, I'm OK with it too because I don't pay taxes.
