The right number is whatever is required to secure the country from attack and to make sure we do not get taken over. If that number is 466 billion, then i guess thats how much we are constitutionally mandated to spend. However, that number is greatly inflated due to wartime expenditures, which are temporary.
Is there waste and fat in the defense budget? Of course there is, but i do not want to gut the budget to build a fucking school. And if you think that this country could never be invaded, gut the defense budget and watch what happens.

who the fuck is going to invade us?

Canada? Mexico? Look how much we spend on our military and we cant even occupy Iraq. Who the hell is going to occupy us?
