What should be cut in the defense budget? (poll 5129031)

What should be cut in the defense budget?

Ground troops with their high recruitment, retention, benefit and retirement costs.

Expensive weapons systems like the joint strike fighter and capital ships, when we already have an unmatched ability to project air and sea power.

No cuts, the world is a dangerous place that requires continued American military presence.

Trim benefits and medical coverage, asking for larger fees and co-payments.

Bureaucratic overhead in all services, redundant headquarters, and new DoD civilian and contractor hires.
