Defence cuts are always a bad idea-----at best you lose jobs and expertise, at worst you lose lives in the event of hostilities--and if the hostile force is big enough and powerful enough you quite simply lose the war--and your freedom.
It does'nt get any clearer--all the schools and hospitals and health care and all the other essential trappings of the free western democracies amount to nothing---if you suddenly become not free and not democratic.
