That's what Colin Powell said on Sunday. Why don't our leaders see that significant cuts (more than the $78 billion Gates is talking about) in defense will very quickly reduce the deficit? Here's a quote from Powell "When the Cold War ended 20 years ago, when I was chairman [of the Joint Chiefs of Staff] and Mr. Cheney was secretary of Defense, we cut the defense budget by 25 percent. And we reduced the force by 500,000 active duty soldiers, so it can be done."
It makes a lot of sense to me.
