I think the DoD got enough...
The Obama Administration's fiscal year (FY) 2015 budget requests a total of $560.4 billion in funding for the Department of Defense (DoD), including $495.6 billion in the base discretionary budget, $6.2 billion in mandatory funding, and $58.6 billion in supplemental funding for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO).
They've outsourced and contracted out WAY too much, that's where a lot of the budget goes. They pay civilians obscene money to deploy. War is a money maker.
If they can't afford to fly, it's their own fault. Bring the troops home.

So, you just want to get rid of the military, right? You do know that we have an all volunteer military don't you? These guys/gals did not get drafted. They train for war, not for the peace corps. This isn't about bringing them home. IT's about equipping them with the right tools to do their job....DEFENDING US. And that is the only Constitutional mandate, not health care, not food stamps, not housing, not free college.
Bring them home, my @ss! Better to fight the enemy over there than over here.
