76. Maybe that could be a good thing....
If we drastically cut defense but instituted a mandatory service period for all men (women could be voluntary) from 19-21 or like they do in Switzerland. The money left after the huge cuts would be sucked up by just training and sustaining troops and supplies, we would not have the financial ability to go empire building. Plus if everyone had to serve then maybe it would change a lot of these tea bag douchers.
