        But, Dr. Falken, the only way to win is not to play the game....

        Edit: I got to $462 billion

        Freeze Civilian pay
        Cut 15% of the ground forces
        Cut 20% of the civilian workforce (attrition only - may not make the target that way)
        Reduce navy ship buying
        Cancel next generation stealth bomber
        Eliminate nuclear bombers
        Reduce military personnel in Europe / Asia to 100,000
        Audit the Pentagon
        Scale back the bands

        I'd also find a way to cut back the number of generals / admirals.

          I cut $1.029 trillion.

          Basically, cut everything except benefits for military personnel.

            Yep: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2...s-graphic.html . From back in 2010. This military one is new, I think.

                  Can somebody contact Jimmy and send him to Iran to get the dude released and see how all that wonderful post-Shah freedom stuff worked out?

                    Afghan President Hamid Karzai Calls USMC Video 'Deeply Disturbing,' 'Inhuman'

                    The President of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai, spoke out today about a video that purportedly shows U.S. Marines urinating on the corpses of suspected Taliban fighters, calling the incident "inhuman."

                    "The Government of Afghanistan is deeply disturbed by a video that shows American soldiers desecrating dead bodies of three Afghans," Karzai said in a statement, referring to the Marines. "This act by American soldiers is simply inhuman and condemnable in the strongest possible terms. We expressly ask the U.S. government to urgently investigate the video and apply the most severe punishment to anyone found guilty in this crime."
