At a time when the U.S. is engaged in major military operations across the globe and facing terrorist threats, do you think it’s a good idea for the government to cut down on military spending as an effort to stave off an economic crisis if the debt ceiling is not raised?...

The issue the country is facing should there be significant military budget cuts is that this may harm both the projection and capability of America as a global military power. A military budget cut may just be a cause for celebration by America’s adversaries - some of them armed and dangerous and itching to inflict damage on the U.S.
