I'm actually surprised the current govt haven't come down harder on mil spending as they have been very hard on other departments,with mixed outcomes.

Forced to save $400 Million by this year and with the redunacy of 300+ soldiers, airman and sailers I would think that would consitute "coming down hard" on military spending. It is all relitive and if you don't see it then you may not realise how tight the purse strings really are.
