There are so many greater places the military budget could be spent on in peacetime. Currently I think since relations with China and Russia are tepid, we should continue along our same spends with a goal of diplomatically reducing tensions, then bringing down the spend and redirecting that money to other areas of need like education, Veteran affairs, technology on shore or renewable energy research. Half of our conflicts are based around energy and technology. Spend more here rely less on others then we just need to defend not attack.
