Radar,
As a fellow vet, I can certainly understand the importance of sustaining a strong military. I have a suggestion, however: stop all of the fraud, waste and abuse that is a regular part of a military day. I was in a carrier HS squadron out of Jacksonville, FL, and the waste was incredible. For instance, at the end of each quarter, squadrons would line their aircraft on the flightline to get fueled, only to be immediately de-fueled in order to get the same amount of funds for the next quarter(aka OPTAR). I've also seen aircraft carriers just sitting off the coast of Norfolk, for no other reason than to show congressmen. senators, etc. all of the wonderful toys at a carriers disposal(at about $1 million a day, that adds up fast).
So many other examples, I could probably devote a whole website devoted exclusively to the defense department waste, but that idea has probably been taken.
