What happens to all the military members that get their job axed if you do a base downsizing?(if you reduce that stuff you also reduce the manpower needs) That happened in 92-93 and several thousand military members where forced to leave the military if you do that now you just add more people looking for a job that is a problem that would occur at least short term.You could save a lot by making the government more efficient though.The military industrial complex needs to get over the Cold War mentality really badly so there are things that could be done even though they will have a shorter term negative effect.
