To break it down to basics, the US Military is simply an insurance policy.
1.) You pay lots of money for it, with the hopes you never have to use it.
2.) The more you have to use it, the higher the premiums become.
3.) It should be a "living" entity, meaning, you should always be updating it, tailoring it for your needs, both real and perceived.
4.) Downsizing the military can be equated to dropping some part of your insurance coverage. And we all know what happens when you do THAT.
