Cheney actually killed a LOT of stuff while he was SecDef. He got in a lot of fights with the Dems in Congress who wanted to keep funding projects.

Of course, Dick Cheney fighting against military spending that the Dems supported kind of goes against the GOP's script these days, so they brushed it under the rug. But a lot of his cuts were good ideas.
