The Air Force alone is at about half the size it was in the late eighties. In addition, we're going to need a lot of money to recapitalize the force (tanks, planes, etc.)after the war in Iraq. The answer is to start cutting wasteful government program such as health care for illegal aliens, welfare, etc. that provide no real benefit to society at large. Not a popular idea I'm sure for the folks in D.C. Cutting the size of the military is not the answer. The Air Force alone is at about half the size it was in the late eighties.
