Well, it sounds to me like you don't want really touch the military, which is fine, but you will have to be willing to pay (a lot) more in taxes at some point in time.
You said you don't think it necessary to close military bases, well, if you really want to make any meaningful difference you will have to do a lot more than close just some bases.
Supposedly, the US annual military budget is 379 billion dollars, but the US deficit is 500 billion and rising. A few token cuts to "certain military projects" isn't going to make any difference.
You already spend more than every other country in the world combined on your military spending. You don't think that's a little out of whack?
500 billion is a lot of money and it doesn't include Iraq either. This is rather frightening. How long can you go on at this rate?
500 billion is a lot more than just "pork". It's just plain nuts.
