''Defense'' + OCO + Homeland Security = 19.8%

Looks like another good area to start cutting.

entitlement spending = 60.9%

Not disagreeing but America's industrial-military complex is a massive drag on the budget and for what purpose? If both entitlement and defense were cut in half then the nation would actually have a future.

"Defense" spending doesnt have to be cut, but waste does.

number of soldiers, things like F-35's dont have be be cut.

things like spending $250 on a hammer for the military needs to be cut. Money disapearing without us knowig where it went needs to be cut. spending $1000 dollars on a water pump needs to be cut.

because theres no watch dog, (and because its goverment) they spend at least twice as much on things that the private sector wouldnt. because in the private sector people spend their own money.

my point is there's ways to cut spending in the military, without cutting Defense

I couldn't agree more that the gross waste that occurs in the military should be cut but I also believe that defense spending should be cut as well. Seriously, who posses enough of a threat to warrant this kind of defense budget?
