But not anywhere near what we have in terms of military power and spending.
Also, economic decline is a much greater threat to the US than military decline. China is eager to dethrone us economically; an invasion of the US would be extremely costly and highly unlikely even if the US' military were significantly smaller.
Do you not understand that money coming from the government has been acquired from taxes, ergo the money comes from the people.
And I for one would much rather it go to subsidize university research than subsidize the defense industry
