I would be the last person to say that there isn't a lot of waste in defense budgets. But you can't spend zero on defense. And the United States also defends all of NATO and a lot of Asia as well as certain other allied countries. Let's say you could somehow shave a few hundred billion out of the budget without materially impacting our defense capabilities and obligations. That's not enough to fix our bigger problems with entitlements.
